No I use dot 3 fluid

Thanks Barry! I will wait and then sand and rebuff.

So I just returned from a 3400 mile round trip to the Bonneville salt flats. When I cleaned the car up I noticed the frame on the passenger side had almost a orange peel look with a splash like pattern on it. As it turns out my custom brake/hydraulic clutch reservoir that I has a vent line run...

The wheels came out great. But skirts will be the true test

Mine is a factory color option for the 77 corvette and the name was “dark red” the code was #83

yes it’s mine and thank you!

1977 corvette Solid dark red is a very nice shade if you ask me

Went with the nasons enamel, glad i went local because we had to darken the formula just a hair to match the painted piece I brought in. Seamed to cover and lay down ok

Ok thanks guys

I would be open to a single stage urethane but bc/cc would have a different look imo.

Hi guys, so I bought a really nice 37 Chevrolet last year and need match the 1977 Corvette Dark Red solid color done in DuPont centari single stage enamel, paint is 10-12 years old but in perfect condition painting the wheels and plan on putting fender skirts on it a little later in the...

If you do a 30’s hot rod don’t make it a street rod, they date themselves to quick. 50’s-60’s traditional hot rods never go out of style. The H.A.M.B. aka Jalopyjournal is all about Traditional Hot Rodding

Cut max’s finish is pretty amazing considering it’s a fairly heavy cutting compound, I have been using mostly 3 and 4” size pads so I am spinning them a little faster than 1400 probably more like 1800.

I just bought the Sonax cut max and like it much better than the V32 The sonax keeps the panel lubed much better than V32 Just keep working the sonax at higher speeds like the instructions say, the grits break down and start polishing the panel. I am still compounding panels but will probably...

i like the tapered cut on the CG quantum hex logic pads, some times it helps keep the edge from bumping into things you did not intend to. I do still use the pad conditioner with the polishing steps but not as much as the compounding.

looking for tips, I am not new to a buffer but I am far from a expert. So for polishing tools I have B&D ELU rotary for my 6” pads Flex pe8 rotary for my 4”, 3”, & 2” pads Porter Cable DA for 6”, 4” & 3” pads 2” air operated DA for 2” pads Chemical guys products V32, V34, V36, V38 compounds...

thanks Jim for all your advice here!

when using the tolex and Buflex, how do I know when to stop. I used the DA over a whole panel with the tolex dry and it looked good but it was tough to tell if all the 1000 marks were gone. so I took a iterface pad and tolex disc and hand sanded in a straight line to see if i could see pig...

well the sanding has started and my fears have eased, The Yellow Film works very good with plenty of control of the rate of sanding and lasts a suprisingly long time. I had no problems removing varing degrees of orange peel and even a few minor runs. I am running the da at 25PSI wide open, I...
