Dragula 01-27-2008, 06:11 PM I worked for nearly 21 years doing paint/body and frame for Chevrolet,we had a saying"we can blend black and white if we had a long enough panel!"lol Lets keep Neals paintwork simple and as trouble free as possible :thumbsup: Although you are right about super light mist coats.

I'm with you. Want wrinkle finish? Buy it in the can. Otherwise I avoid crossing paint types or brands unless testing has proven other wise. Why step in front of the oncoming train? bobhch 02-03-2008, 12:24 PM If you dipped it in Future first......You can paint right over Future! Future works well as a base coat also before painting...just saying. It can smooth out little flaws nicely for a nice looking paint job...little tiny flaws. Not big ones! Bob...zilla gear buster 02-04-2008, 11:17 AM Are you talking about using the wet look clear from testers?? The wet look clear isn't as hot of lacquar as most is. It can be sprayed over enamels But, I am with the others. Don't unless you have alot of exper. doing so. :thumbsup: The "Dick Landy" Car in the Drags Gasser Thread is all enamel stripping with wet look clear. But I did it in layers.. I say, Don't mess up the finish of your hard work, just to be twisted when it gets messed up on the last stage... christos_s 02-04-2008, 05:02 PM I made a nice paint job of my American Line Corvette. I use a jel-ball-point for metal fine lines over the base painted colors. Then I clear coat to keep all there and add shine. However I had already installed the glass and it frosted... (The shine on the hood is not a surface anomally, just an odd reflection) http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/attachment.php?attachmentid=53340&d=1201974633 bobhch 02-05-2008, 01:03 AM I made a nice paint job of my American Line Corvette.

Several coats may do the trick or at least smooth things out and make it a little better. It is worth a try and couldn't hurt at this point. :wave: That almost looks like you used Acetone on the window? If not it could just be the age of your glass and materials used back then in the window? Heck I don't know but, I still like the paint job you did on the body. Bummer on the glass. :cry: *stating the obvious here* I would just leave the glass out next time. ;) Bob...zilla vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
