Thread: Could it be finally true??

Jim, his plan at the moment is to paint it the same Hot Rod Black satin that I used on my 27 body. Couple of reasons for that: First of all, he likes the look of it (me too) and it is something we can do ourselves without a booth. There are so many pieces to this car, what with the bed, cab, and all, that it would be a major outlay of cash to have it professionally painted.

He has so much other shiny stuff on the car that we think the satin will be a nice contrast and let the other parts pop a little. Plus, if he doesn't get this thing in paint pretty soon he will never make Turkey Run again this year. I think if he misses having it there he will push it into a corner and not want to see it again.

You and Steve really have me thinking about the primer danger thing. This is the first time we ever used PPG stuff, normally we use Dupont. Maybe there is a higher load of bad stuff, or just different stuff than we are used to. Like I mentioned, he complained about not feeling well Saturday night when we got home...........maybe there is a link to that and the primer. He WILL wear a suit next time.

Don i mentioned it as its quite a common thing to happen when spraying any 2 pack product without covering up, there is a lot of stuff said about 2 pack, some true and some not so true, i prefer not to take the chance.

It is said it can be absorbed through the skin and eyes I can't clarify these remarks but why take the chance.

I'm only telling you as i like my friends to be around as long as me, or longer

As for the satin black being easier i would disagree, if using satin colour you don't have the option of flat and polishing the finish if you get any small defects, whereas with a shiny colour you can always flat and polish to achieve a quality finish.
