Re: [Chevelle-list] painting undercarriage

[Jim H. Thompson]

The fumes POR puts out are very bad on the lungs do not spray unless you have the right mask. Also over spray is a bitch to get off.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Karl Groves Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 4:07 PM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] painting undercarriage   Jim -   Do you have experience spraying POR-15? Just asking, because POR-15's own documentation says you can spray it. I have not yet done so but planned to, but I might not if others have done it and it didn't work out.

Use foam brushes and throw away. I have used both and the Eastwood products need more prep to look good if you won't see the end result but want protection go with POR 15.

I was looking at the Devilbiss (sp?) spray guns because they say that you can spray upside down with their gravity feed guns as long as you use the cup liner. I would imagine that being able to spray upside down is important when doing an undercarriage. Is there a reason that most people seem to use gravity feed rather than suction feed? Do you get a more uniform flow of paint or is it a price issue?   I also read that you get what you pay for with these guns, and if you want to do good quality exterior paint work, don't buy any gun under $200, but if you are just doing undercarriage and/or industrial surfaces, guns around $100 are fine.         -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Eddie Bumgarner Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 10:36 AM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] painting undercarriage   Yes, eastwood has what you need. Im doing the frame and the underside now. They have spray cans in everthing. But I prefer the sraygun. Goodluck Eddie Bumgarner 66ss conv.

Corroseal is a primer that turns rust into magnetite. It is similar to POR-15 but it's water based and non-toxic (and it can be sprayed). Do you guys have any recommendation for a topcoat? I don't have spray equipment, so something that would flow nicely from a brush would be ideal. Otherwise I do have a compressor and I could buy a spray gun... Thanks   Yahoo!
