Okay, so since I went to Hershey it kinda got a fire lit under me to get some stuff moving.
So, I went to the PPG site to buy paint. PPG website Anyhow, Conda green, check. What kind do I want. I chose the MAE acrylic enamel with an OMH101 hardener. How much do I want. How much DO I want? Painting with an HVLP gun, 1.5 gallons? 1 gallon? Then I got to the primers. My car is bare metal with body putty, what kind of primer do I want? I started looking at all this stuff, and got totally overwhelmed. Help. I sound whiney. Zach |

I just did mine and a gallon was enough paint, but that didn't include the trunk insides so you'll need an extra quart if you're going to do those areas. The gallon & hardener was about $500. I think I did mine the right way - down to metal, then used black epoxy sealer over everything after the major filling. On top of that went sandable primer - over a galon and a half, most of which got sanded off with the final stages of body work down to the glaze. Then final primer wet sanded then another coat of black epoxy sealer to hold the final color (orange). Then the final wet sanding and buffing began
Considering all the work it would have been a $30k paint job in a shop, I'm sure. |
