I saw this on "Trucks" and it looks intriging for the DIY. I am wondering specifically if you can use an epoxy primer,then a polyester building type and then go on top with the Paint Shop primer? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 14 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 14 | Just saw your note. I found a can of this paint in a project VW I got on eBay. The LP cover was cheap chrome & had started to rust. I got an entire trunk for $5.00, removed the part, cleaned it and used a car body primer. The part needs 2 coats with 320 grit sand & it came out great in spite of the fact that the color is a mite off. I didn't want to spend another $7.00 for the clear so my body guy did it as he was shooting another car. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 169 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 169 | Nothing is new about this system its nothing but old outdated technology called lacquer.
For roughly the same amount of money you can get an urethane based product that will outlast and outshine that junk lacquer thirty fold.
Do the research then do the math, not that cheap of a system after all.
Lacquer went bye bye in the 60's for a reason...Eric | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 14 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 14 | Eric is right Jim, as lacquer went bye/bye when newer paints came in but it lasted until the mid-eightees as I remember selling a ton of compound & buffing pads to metal shops. As I recall the matal guys hated the work necessary for a perfect paint job before & after. The newer paints were thicker & hid some problems. However, unlike lacquer you needed a paint booth,heat & you had to watch mosture. Lacquer can be used anywhere, dries in minutes and can be buffed out. I was able to take a junk yard part, sand it,paint it (2coats)& put it back on the car in under 30 minutes. I'm not sure how long it will look good or last but my T was restored in 69 with a lacquer paint job & looks as good today as my 06 cars. For what it's worth... | | |
