Re: [Chevelle-List] Underhood Restoration 70 Chevelle
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I have tried everything, but there is nothing quite like POR 15. If you do not want to use that, then use heavy rust Rustoleum. The only problem with POR 15 is getting anything to stick to it. If you use it on frame and suspension parts, you are supposed to "rough it up" which is a major project in itself. I put polurethane over it, but it still easily chips away leaving the "red" surface. POR 15 should develop some type of primer-surfacer that will help paint adhesion. >From: "Josh Campbell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Underhood Restoration 70 Chevelle >Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 13:17:09 -0500 > > >Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List > > >Sorry for the long post, I ramble on too much.

That was exactly what I thought. The brush only lasted for a little while though as the POR 15 slowly attacked the foam, but yep it was definitely brush marks!

Not a brush mark to be seen. Same here, I put a pretty heavy coat on thoughit's self leveling like ploy on furniture so it requires more than you'd normally think.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Underhood Restoration 70 Chevelle
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Josh, I'm not sure what I did right, but when I used it, the brush strokes settled out in the POR-15 before it dried. Not a brush mark to be seen. John Nasta -Original Message- Didn't like the brush strokes in it. I know a lot of people swear by the POR-15, but I've never really been thrilled with my results from it. I don't know if others are getting better results than I am, or they are just not as picky? - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] Underhood Restoration 70 Chevelle
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Also, as an aside: when I originally detailed my cowl wall over a year ago, I cleaned it off with lac. thinner and scotchbrite. (Some really rusty spots were sandblasted.) and POR-15'd it. I was not happy with the results. It had brush strokes in it. The paint held up fine , but that's why I just stripped it all down and re-did it. Didn't like the brush strokes in it. I know a lot of people swear by the POR-15, but I've never really been thrilled with my results from it. I don't know if others are getting better results than I am, or they are just not as picky?

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Currently my engine compartment is Por 15 without a topcoat. Over time some of the areas have started hazing because of its reaction to sunlight as well as heat. I'm going after a semi gloss(factory) look.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Underhood Restoration 70 Chevelle
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I just re-detailed my cowl wall and top of my rad support of my 72. I used Eastwood's Under Hood black. It's perfect. I learned a trick from a buddy also. Get some SEM Black self etching primer. Use this first and the paint lays out really great. THe black primer itself has a nice flat sheen to it and I also use that alone for some certain items such as hood hinges. It looks very similar to the correct black oxide plating that the factory used. I believe you can find the SEM primer at auto body supply shops.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List When I tore down the nose of the El Camino & rebuilt the front end, I painted everything w/ POR-15 (frame rails, inner fenders, rad support, all front-end components, coil springs, etc. I think it turned out very well. I bought short chrome valve covers from Jegs w/ the bow-tie logo for about $45. They also come in a tall version and they are baffled. I think they look great too. -Original Message- I am going to re-detail my engine compartment this winter. I need some advice. A few months back the list was talking about different paints used. I'm not looking for the cheapest option but more of a long term solution. I need to paint it with something durable. What should I use? Opinions? Any suggestions on where can I get a pair of tall chrome valve covers that look similar to stock?
