Do I or don't I...........? Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States |
I have ONR chip in my paint - ONE! It's been there since I dropped a screwriver in the 80's. Rest of the paint is perfect.
I'm looking for something that doesn't require a brush, since I am known to be sloppy. Concerned about compatability, since my paint was put on in 1979, and is a poly-razzmataze paint of the era. Clear coated too. Paint was a Glssurit compound. Could look it up, but just wondering. There are "pens" out there, but I don't want them bleeding/bubbling what I have. Suggestions? Pat |

Make sure it dries and matches..........
They mixed anacona blue metallic for my car, but the previous owner had it shot before testing it Result? My front trunk, and rear inner trunk is a different color than the car. It is definitely a little deeper than the 1975 anacona blue metallic, but it is still anacona blue metallic. I have heard that a lack of lead subsitute can do this? Maybe the body gurus here can comment on that again. But the results will speak. I can take pictures of my car to show you an example, and learn from someone elses mistake if you like. |

That's why they won't guarantee a color match on the older cars, and recco that all color test on an inconspicuous spot against the OE paint you're trying to match. It sounds like your PO did not do that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Do you know if the PO sent an OE Anaconda paint chip off the car from which to color match?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) It may take Pat (or anyone else) a couple of tries to get the color match right, so you're probably best calling them in person & ordering a small bottle to color test, & have them hold that formulation until after it tests out okay, or send them color pix of the mis-match result for correction & retry it again until it's exact. In Pat's case he only needs a small size anyway, but it could take several tries to get the color just right for even a "Retired CW"!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Dude the PO of my car sucked so bad he shaved the door handles without realizing there was no way to route wiring for the hardware to open and pop the doors. Seriously..... argh. I highly doubt he did anything of the sort. I still got it for much cheaper including shipping from cali than any comparably solid car out here in rusty maryland. |

[/quote] Totally Duuuude! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) .....but now you pay for the PO idiot's mistakes! btw - 914s rust out here in CA too - especially near the beach & up in the mountains where it snows, & up north where it rains cats-n-dogs! ...take it from someone fighting the battle with my 914 since 1975! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) No need to send pix of some idiot's puck-up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Mine's still as Porsche intended! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Get you some decent door shells & transplant the other stuff to them so you have a decent OE stock look. Jeeesh......What kind of F-ing idiot shaves down the first set of OE flush door handles on a production car!!!???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) It must be true what they say about some air-heads out here on the "left-coast"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .....or too much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) killed the leetle grey cells! Back to Pat's question - has any of this helped you Pat??
