Not sure about the paint but that step-by-step is a real laugh. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 443 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 443 | I spoke to a Azko Nobel rep a few weeks ago and was asking about urethane, enamel & lacquer for my 57. I was told lacquer is history because of clean air & other regulations.Maybe its state regulations,but I think its probably federal.
Yeh, there are just a few steps missing in the DIY painting, like SANDING, removing mouldings,door handles,tail lamps etc, and several other important things. Looks like one of those "we will paint any car for $99" deals.

Not much of a prep job for a high quality finish.
I would hate to see what it looks like three years from now.
Primer over paint with out sanding ??????? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | When they make it look too easy, it probably is. I had my (former LA county police cruiser) painted by Earl Shibe when I was in college for $40.00 and I got what I paid for.

Years ago, a friend of mine's son scored a FINE old Camero that he bought to sell. He had one of those $99 paint jobs put on it and reduced the value by thousands. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 267 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 267 | my thought was that the tractor paint was a better choice if you want an inexpensive paint job. i don't think the lacquer paints will hold up anything like the urethane or enamel paints

Here's a link. http://www.rickwrench.com/ Go to where it says 1966 Corvair Corsa 140/4 and click on where it says $50 paint job. Interesting. Wonder how long it will last? | | |
