  1. Durapox is great for industrial stuff and car floors etc but it goes hard as rock so using it as an etch on a resto type job wouldnt be ideal. 

    best stuff to put over bare steel is 2 pack epoxy etch, then do any filler work etc over that, then more epoxy to seal it off then use 2 pack high fill primer for filling sanding scratches etc.

    1: best way to get all of that rusty primer off is a DA and a whole bunch of sanding

    2: any 2 pack epoxy will be good, bog can be a personal preference but I use the upol fantastic. go to complete paints or total body shop. complete paints may be a bit more helpful seeing as you're new to paint. both in onekawa

    3: I'm a panel beater in Napier, old cars/rust is my specialty. PM me if needed

  2. not sure about the higher temps of aircooled but have done water cooled blocks, heads etc with a light coat of etch then standard DG 2k with a bit of flexi additive, headers/exhaust would be too hot for it though.

    Can I just weld some angle in or something I don't give a fuck if it looks rough I just want it to pass haha

    we do these for customers all the time,however there is no reason you cant just fill it in yourself and sign it, the wof guys usually just use them so that they dont have to have you bring it back bare steel/ so they can pass the buck onto a panel beater if shit hits the fan

  4. Ive got to get back into painting i did a vehicle refinishing course 20 years ago when dulon was all the rage..... is anyone playing around with water based automotive paint yet? I like the idea of it Whats it like.

     

    Waterborne paints really need to be sprayed in a booth with an accelerated drying system, and your air etc needs to be cleaner than it does for solvent based paints, you also dont tend to get as much depth of finish with it, and the fact that you need to clear it with a solvent based clear, makes it kinda a big outlay to get into it at this stage but no doubt the technology will get better in time 

  5. The "black glue gunk" you're looking for is urethane sealer, you'll need to clean all of any sealer that isn't urethane off of both the screen and the aperture,

     

    trim the urethane that is left down to about 1 or 2mm thick on both the screen and glass, if you've got no urethane left on either peice then you'll need to prime them with a pinchweld primer.

     

    if the aperture doesnt have blocks for the screen to sit on (so that it doesn't compress the sealer and sit right down to the aperture) you'll need to apply a foam tape around the aperture, you only want it to around 3mm wide and high or so. apply the tape around the inside edge of the aperture, you should be able to see where it has been before.

     

    clean the urethane with water only, solvents will absorb in.

     

    you then want to cut your a v into your sealer nozzle about 1/2" high so that its easy to make the bead a uniform height

     

    apply a bead of urethane right around the aperture, about as wide as the existing urethane, making sure there's no gaps etc

     

    carefully put the glass into place, try to get it centred first time as you don't want to take it out again, dont slap on it or anything just give it a light press into the sealer untill it sits level

     

    reinstall the moulding around the edge assuming its a rubber t shape?

     

    leave a window open until the urethane is set so that you dont create pressure inside the car and push it out

     

    hope that helps

  6. Haha - come to Wellington you goofball. It's been a long time.

     

    not next weekend but soon yup, will probably drunkenly call you at some stage tho.

     

    I tried to figure out how to put the sound through the stereo on a tv with no audio output today so we dont have to listen to the race through shitty tv speakers

  7. Sky Sport only - I don't even have Sky let alone the ability to add on Sky Sport and it's restrictively expensive to get it installed for 1 day of watching - probably cheaper to go to Bathurst and watch in person.

     

    drive to napier, drink beer and watch the race.

     

    edit: sky pass would be cheaper
