tomorrow the painted part will be sanded and polished.. the door part will be sanded and primed with another filler as I try to avoid bondo..

Looks nice and warm there , a good assistance with drying times .. pity about flying bugs spraying outside  Good result though , hope mrs cem approves but not of the mess you cause on her best garden table

today really I was lucky.. before it was about to rain and was windy.. I sprayed water to road as a precaution but only a small cat hair visited the paint   there were bugs flying and luckily none of them get interested , I guess they like the scratch resistent laquer more but this time I didnt use..


unfortunately yesterday a garden table cover was destroyed because of selulosic thinner.. but I promised for a new one

Cem , what is the cost of 1 litre of epoxy chassis paint where you are  ?
It's very expensive over here  in Ireland .

the one I use is Glassurit epoxy..   its sold in 4 litre can.. price was around 100 US$ last year but not sure for new price as paint prices increased dramatically

one more important info for those who want to repair-paint their car.. if you paint a small area even with a 100% color match there will still be a small line trace (even if you sand) where you apply mask..  if you want a perfect job, sand the whole part with 800-1200 then paint+laquer the whole part.. patches will always be far from perfect

So Epoxy is resin to repair bodywork AND a chassis protection paint?

yep.. very good protective and inert base..  also if you are unsure about the lower layers of paint , its a very good isolator..  for example if there is a wet bondo underneath it will suck above layers when it dries and create traces even on final layers.. but epoxy prevents this..


I always try to toast bondo between epoxy layers..  but in case I can, I avoid bondo and use grey filler ( a kind of primer) instead

is it the same stuff cem.... i.e. same stuff in the bottle would do chassis and be a filler..... or are they different epoxy products?

slightly off topic (sorry) I'm going with old engine oil to coat my chassis as I have it in abundance

yep.. its a filler and a primer at the same time in the same can .. 


as for the old engine oil   never used something like that but I have seen people using tar underneath cars..  if viscosity is similiar you can use it..


but if you ask my opinion I wouldnt.. because it will destroy your chance of painting with a proper material later  ..

alternative tin worm repair sucks   fiber not a good base for paint..


it fractured and had small holes


so had to do the job again and under rain due to time constraints

[cem_devecioglu]

if you plan to keep your  car my recommendation is cut and weld jobbie.. not this cheapo shortcut..
