heres a question for the paint guys
i had a bunch of old pimer sealer laying around some old corlar and some gaserite. no reducer or activator.
i was woking on my bucket and had done the framework for the floor out of square tubing i was just going to paint some undercoat on it and be done with it.
i looked at this old primer sealer and decided to just paint this stuff on as i was god it stuck and dried slowly but doesnt look any different that the primer i laid on the t bucket body that was acivated. it even sands nice .
heres my question. is the acivator in a 2 stage paint for production and speed only or does it acivate a hardener in the paint itself that will not acitivate if air dried.
i built my grill/cowl and i used some of this unactivated primer/sealer on the underside for a sealer and seems to work really well but of course dries slow
my bodyshop buddies didnt have a answer but admitted using old primer sealer on undersides of things and not having problems with it either.
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
