Re: [Chevelle-list] Painting question/ Opinion Poll
On my 66 SS I did the firewall body color, after I smoothed it a little. Powdercoated the inner fenderwells gloss black along with the rad support. I too used bedliner on the floorpans/trunkpans both underneat and inside, it rally worked great. While I am on it, there was a post about powder coating frames. Both the Chevelle and Corvette were frame off and I powdercoated everything metal that I could. I drive both and have not had any issues with it releasing. If I scratch the frame on a jack or lift it is easy to just touch it up with a rattlecan. I am a fan or powdercoating it has worked very well for me.. as someone else on the list says, that's my 2 cents..

Re: [Chevelle-list] Painting question/ Opinion Poll
When I had my 66 painted, The paint guy suggested I have him paint both the inner fenders and the firewall body color. I was thinking more old school, with correct shades of black on both the firewall and inner fenders. He and I discussed this once a week whenever I would go look at his progress on the rest of the body... I finally compromised. I had him paint the firewall body color, and the inner fenders in semi gloss black. I have no regrets at all. I'm extremely happy with the way things look under the hood. I figured it would be much easier to take out the inner fenders and spray them body color if I decided I didn't like the current look Take a look at some cars at local meets and shows, look at pictures on-line and in the magazines. Ultimately, it's your call. Good luck.

Eastwood is famous for taking other companies' paints and putting their label on them. Not that there's anything wrong with it as long as they provide a source for good quality products.

Re: [Chevelle-list] painting undercarriage
I went to Eastwood's web site and searched for Corroless, but it appears they either no longer sell it or changed the name to "Rust Encapsulator." http://eastwood.resultspage.com/search?p=KKsrid=S7%2d4lbc=eastwoodts=custompw=corrolessuid=739702418isort=scorew=corolessrk=1 According to Eastwood: Encapsulates rust primes in one step Prevents rust creep Minimal prep - remove loose rust, degrease, apply Can be used under or over body fillers Compatible with most top coats Available in Red, Black, Silver, ClearEastwood Rust Encapsulator has been shown by an independent lab to be the most effective rust preventive product yet. Tested against well-known brands, the New Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has proven to be superior in sunlight resistance, preventing rust creep, and overall durability.Heat resistant up to 400 F. Made in the USA. With that said, back whenthe El was disassembled, I had the frame sandblasted, then I coated it with the Eastwood Corroless followed by Chassis Black. It's been over 5 years and 16,000 miles and the frame still looks good and is rust free.

Re: [Chevelle-list] painting undercarriage
POR15 can be sprayed just fine. I've done it many times. You do need good ventilation and good respiratory equipment because it does contain cyanoacrylates. They also advise you use their thinner which I do. I've also used Eastwoods Rust Encapsolator (successor to Corroless)and don't feel it's near as durable and if you buy it in the spray can and don't use it all at once it has a tendency to clog the nozzle.

Re: [Chevelle-list] PAINTING THE 69
Joe, If you want a concourse quality job, then it would be best to go to someone who specializes in this type of work for a living and understands what you want. You will pay big bucks, but get a top notch job. Your average body and paint shop will not want to put the time in to give you this kind of work. Not that I am knocking the average shops, but they can make a lot more quick money doing smaller insurance type jobs. You will get a cheaper price, but dont expect top notch work. Just my opinion.

Re: [Chevelle-list] PAINTING THE 69
Joe, Find yourself a restoration sho or at least someone that is willing to do an older car. I have been through the same thing myself already and I know how hard it is to find someone to do the work up to your expectations. I went through a nightmare with my 70 in the paint shop. I was told 6 weeks, it ended up being 6 months. Same thing with my 69. The best thing to do is to go to a show and find the best paint job on a car there and ask where they got it painted and go from there. Tom
