When I picked up my 71 Deuce it had new fenders on it and those fenders were coated with the rust proof stuff. I believe it's the one thing there is that CARC will not stick to. All of the paint on those parts flaked right off, very easy to prep for paint.
Well I got my paint on Thursday. I ordered 4 gallons of green and 6 rattle cans of brown from Rapco. I have my deuce and eventually an M105A2 to get painted in 3 color. I read in an earlier thread, and can't seem to find it again, about using hardner with the GCI paint. Has anyone tried this...
I don't want to tinkle on your parade here, but it's not a wise idea. EUC's take a long time to clear and traveling that far in a Deuce will take many stops. Stops for fuel($4+ a gallon at the moment), and rest for you. They aren't the fastest or most comfortable mode of travel. Don't get me...
Here is the question I would like to pose to all of you with experience. How many gallons of Rapco vs CARC to paint a Deuce. Not the whole frame and axles, just the front clip, cab and bed. Let's go with and without doing the inside of the bed.
Thank you
I am bringing the chicken and potatoes, Greg is bringing the trailer full of ice. I think poof was getting the shrimp. Didn't dozenjeeps say he was bring the trailer full of beer? I have next weekend in town and the following weekend I am going the Jackson, MI, so if we need another food...
I removed the "built" cargo cover and got it into the shop. Now I can start the prepping it for a fresh coat of paint. I also discovered I have lots of damaged side post and a rotted out bow. They screwed the cover to all the uprights and bows. Needeless to say a lot of the screws broke off...
I just got mine into the shed. Thinking about sprucing it up a bit before poofstock. But just like a woman trying to decide on an outfit I am trying to decide on paint type. To CARC or not to CARC, that is my question.
So let's get down to brass tacs here. I've been told it's a good idea to use hardner in the Gillispe paint, however, doing so will make it a bit more "glossy". That would take care of the soft paint issue though. CARC is "original" depending on the period you wish to represent and it can be...
I almost forgot, 3F82A/nvrescue, if you don't like how we are in the forums then you are welcome to leave the site and find a site better suited to you. No one forced you to join and infact nv was banned for his actions here. For a person with 9 post as of now you are getting a bit loud and...
