The container says it's safe for clear coat but doesn't specifically say anything about enamel. It worked great on the El (base coat/clear coat) but even though it makes the paint on the Vette (17 year old enamel) feel smoother, it obviously doesn't have the same look as the El when it's done.

[Chevelle-list] rear end question

I am in the market for new rear end gears for my 70 Nova that now has a 2.56 (stock). I plan to get a 3.08 posi since I have a 700-R4 and the rpm's are only 1,450 @ 60 mph now and the 3.08 should raise that to 1,740. This car has a RamJet 350/350 and it's my highway cruiser. Any

Yes, it's made for base/clear. Do the test by wiping you hand over the panel after a wash and then again after the clay application. mike --- J. Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it able to be used on any paint? 2 stage or not? Jim --- mike f [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Great

The best way for the 68 and 69 is to do it by hand. The stencil kit for the 70 won't work well on the hood. Would work fine on trunk though. I've done it before, curve the outer edge on the nose and tail like the 70 but keep the width constant the whole length. Trooper - Original Message

I've never heard of a powdercoat "primer" I know of some places that zinc plate or galvanize before they apply the powdercoating though. The biggest problems with powdercoating is poor prep work (cleaning, degreasing, etc..) and improper cure time/ temperature. I powdercoat stuff all the

I used the Eastwood powder coating kit for my suspension parts. I also used the Eastwood red primer and chassis black for the frame. The frame needs to be prepped; I used 3M wheels, cut the rust great. POR will work also but is a bit messy to work with. POR only requires degreasing and

I have had some frames galvanized with no problems. The trick is not to have the final step of oil quenched done and not to let it get wet until its painted or coated. The whole process doesn't run much more than having a frame just stripped. - Original Message - From: Jim
