    if you da the scratch out. so the edges are feather edged it will work a lot better. it will make the repair bigger but then you could get away with rattle can and still keep a 30-40 foot paint job lol. but remember the paint just plain wont match so you will want to blend and or paint to body...

    Need a suggestion on some Bodywork Tools

    i havent used the harbor freight stud gun but if it has a warrantee it should be fine. when i use nails i like a t-handle instead of a slide hammer. the slide hammer is fast but its easy to over work the metal and then you get oil canning. with my experience with body work its more the person...

    Need a suggestion on some Bodywork Tools

    the cheaper set of hammers and dollies is what we had to start with at school and they suck lol. no pick hammer and really outta balance. i guess if you need to and only will use them a few times a year but i would try to get the wooden handel set

    removing spray bomb overspray???

    some non-clorinated brake parts cleaner will take it off. it will take any wax off to but there is a chance it will hurt the clear or paint. if you spray it on the rag then rub it should be safe tho. i would try that before wet sanding personaly

    Bumble Bee Stripe on a Scamp?

    it would look good on your car. on the darker cars the cremeish white color of stripe looks great with the dodge in it on the deck lid. yours would pbly say plymouth tho but i would say that would look killer lol

    Lincoln Welder?

    i got a flux core and hate it. it is a lot easier to take whatever im welding somewhere with shielding gas. you will love it lol. i really like the hobart handler 140. we have 3 of them at school and they are all top notch and if you go hot and slow you can weld pretty thick stuff. i wouldnt...

    Painting the dart

    like flimsy. if you push on your quarter panel it should give a little but not a whole bunch. if you over work it or stretch the metal it can move a lot with little pressure or 'pop' in. that is called oil canning.

    Painting the dart

    a hood will be hard to do much body work with. the metal starts oil canning quick so you can learn a lot from it lol. dont be scared to ask us all any questions. its really not very hard just takes patience and some thinking and some knowledge. good luck

    Painting the dart

    it is easier to see low and high spots with a uniform color so you can shoot primer first but dont be scared to sand it off. good choice on epoxy to. it has more corrosion (rust) protection then a etch primer and can go on top of body filler

    Painting the dart

    body filler is not supposed to go on to thick. i think its either 1/8th of an inch or 1/4 but i am thinkin 1/8th so get the metal up close then put it on. squeeze it into all the lil holes so it sticks good and dosent trap any moisture in. also sand it down good in between layers. it needs to go...

    Painting the dart

    i like ppg omni paint. idk the price comparison but thats what i have used and like it. for the body work keep the body filler(bondo) thin. it is a good product when used right and it will hold up and look good. also be sure to block it all good and straight. a flat black will look killer if it...

    paint discoloration?

    i bet it is from all the dirt stuck in there over the years and getin wet so i bet it discolored all the paint thru there. if not it will be faded different anyways so you might just have to live with it, paint it, or put the trim back on

    stripe for 09 charger

    black stripe or carbon fiber look alike with carbon hood and deck lid and some dark 20" rims and it would be killer lol

    Stripping Paint / Stripping Rust

    paint i would say sand it lol. its easy to do and you can do it. otherwise blast it. get like a 8" da and go to town. rust sandblasting is good. most media blasting wont take rust off so sand is the best. i would think it needs to be pretty bare to blast cuz it gets everywhere. if you wanna do...

    Feedback: paintforcars.com

    we get owni from napa and it really is good stuff. i think the reason it is cheaper is it dose not have the color match perfect like the more expensive ppg stuff but everything else is great. so if you are trying to fix a small repair it might be easier to buy the more expensive stuff but the...
