    Gas Tank Cleaner & Sealer

    What are you guys using to clean an old gas tank out and seal it? I have rinsed it out with water and gotten most of the rust flakes out, but it still looks pretty crusty inside. Ospho? Vinegar? Muratic Acid?

    Spraying my favorite color - White

    It really is my favorite color on a car, but I HATE spraying it. I don't feel like I can see while I'm spraying, and I have trouble seeing scratches when color sanding. Anyway, I sprayed the roof of a car over the weekend, 3 coats of SPI single stage white. Walking out of the booth I thought...

    Chevy Pickup inner roof Help!

    I have removed the inner roof structure out of a 68 pickup by drilling out the spot welds on the sides, and chiseling the spots along the rear seam. My plan was to make my repairs, epoxy behind the panels, and glue the rear seam back together with some kind of panel adhesive. I don't have any...

    Concrete coating

    Hey guys, I did a couple of searches, and haven't found an answer that satisfies me! I poured a concrete floor in my shop about 6-8 months ago, and I would like to seal it with something to keep the dust down, and fluids from absorbing. Solvent based sealer is the best answer I've found so...

    Fully cured epoxy

    I'm sure you guys don't remember, but I was working on an old chevy truck. This thing has been sitting in epoxy for a couple of years, mostly sanded to 320 or 400, and the bed got another coat of epoxy over that. I'm wanting to paint it in the next couple of months, so tonight I cleaned it...

    Is this going to cause problems?

    I blasted these bedsides several months ago, and put two coats of epoxy on them. Over the past few months, I've blocked them with 80, then 180 to smooth them out. Yesterday, I hit them with another three coats of epoxy. My question is the places that were pitted. I don't know if you can see...

    Blocking Tapered Panels

    How do you guys block "tapered" doors? I think you can see the area I'm talking about in the attached pic: I've been using a couple of paint sticks vertically on the taper part of the panel to sand this area. It's supposed to be a gradual taper to the fender gap, but how do I make sure it's...

    A little Rain

    So, I painted epoxy yesterday morning over week old, sanded epoxy. Two wet coats and left everything out in the sun. About 4 hours later, one of those little "pop-up" thunderstorms soaked everything out there. I can't see any signs of damage to the paint, and I figured everything would be...

    Stinkin' Japanese Beetles

    Check this out, one of those green-pearl colored Japanese Beetles got into some freshly painted primer yesterday. That's going to be a mess to sand out!

    Painted Dealer Sticker?

    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, and it will be a little while before I'm ready for this, but this is the original dealer sticker on my project truck: At first I looked at getting the sticker reproduced, but I think the expense for just two of these will be too great...

    '69 Chevy PickUp

    Here's some shots of my project. I'm a weekend warrior type, and have only done a couple of vehicles so far. (And it's against the rules to notice the mess in my shop!) Hard to believe that's two sprayable gallons of SPI epoxy! I've got several places that are going to require some...

    SPI Epoxy is a wonderful product!

    New to this forum, I just wanted to say that I love the way SPI's epoxy shoots and looks! I got a chance to shoot some of it last Thursday, as the temps got up into the 70's. I spoke with Barry last week, and we discussed spraying the epoxy over another brand of epoxy on a truck cab, but after...
