I paid 2.00 a lb last year from guy i know who has a refill station w/ about 6 big *** tanks in his trailor. Told me he goes through about one 10 lb bottle every pass. 6 sec. car on the gun. You still charging 2.50? W/ the 24 hr. refill service? It'll come in handy when my new setup is done. A forged shortblock w/ a healthy 200 shot of direct port or 250 if i get greedy!!!

Whos painting your engine bay and what are you using? Single Stage? Did you scuff the original paint and or primer it too? We are doing ours next week.

You pulled the M/C off why didnt you take the booster out? It would of took another 2 minutes and you could of shot everything.

Tony, will that autograph sell on ebay just yet? only reason i'd want it.

one of my unity racing members paints cars for a living, he did it with his equipment, i don't know much about it.

few coats of the gm silver and 5 coats of clearcoat, looks just like the outside of the car.

entire engine bay was cleaned/scuffed with window cleaner and green SOS pads, all you need to do for the new paint to lay on nice. he only primered the spots here and there where I filled in factory holes with epoxy and sanded them down smooth so i hit bare metal in those areas.

Ok thats what we were going to do too was take a pad at it to scuff it. We are probably gonna shoot a single stage gloss.

Nice now that its got clearcoat you dont have to worry about the brake fluid eating the paint. Sean you have to get your car back together otherwise your just gonna keep blinging it out. Did you order the spinning rims yet?
