If it is imported from Canada, does that make it an import, eh? I have all the strengths of a domestic, but none of its weaknesses...well..maybe a few...

Guest sbccivic Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 this is just to protect it from the elements...ot will be sanded down yet again in a month or so and all body work will be done in which..door handles, all moldings will be taken off,out and sat aside... if it is not a 2 part primer you wasted your time. the elements will soak into that primer and just cause more problems in the long run.

Clifford Automotive Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 if it is not a 2 part primer you wasted your time. the elements will soak into that primer and just cause more problems in the long run. He's doing it "his way". He doesnt care that he is wasting time and wasting material. I tried to give advice to the kid once but was told it was wrong for not doing it my way. I could give a shit about the way he does it. I was just trying to save him some time and money. I was curious why he didnt leave it the way it was and only cover the spots where he went to metal, or put filler in it. Because I know he didnt take all the clear off, so sanded clear will protect the panel just as if it werent sanded. After I sand a car it gets washed and may sit out side for some time. The only parts I prime are the repaired areas. But what do we know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
