Yeah, its basically little Allen wrenches wrapped around the metal dowel on that drum, they're solid, not wires. IDK the actual name for it, but it's been in my shop for over a decade easy. It hit a washer on monday, and made it a projectile, was sweet. But yes, it is scary! haha

haha sweet. I caught a wire in my arm once. It felt like a bb gun (don't ask how I know).

Moved to site discussion.

That wire wheel looks dangerous! Must work good.

In next weeks preview, it seems like that may happen. I hope Carl shoots him, haha.

Right? Or the sign for Erin saying they left, then later, a zombie had a bracelet that said Erin. I think Morgan will be back, but maybe the group wont like the idea? That backpack has some importantance.

[The Walking Dead]

I new Morgan was going to come back, but wasn't expecting him to go crazy. But he's got a good setup and lots of guns. Also, the hitchhiker totally got fucked over. I wonder whats in his backpack?

[The Walking Dead]

This is for the tv show on AMC. Its about zombies.. to say the least.

If you didn't see tonight's episode, watch it first!!

Congrats on your purchase. Post some pictures of your car. Sounds like you went on a road trip!

[New Forum Feedback]

This is way easier to use on my phone. It looks great all around.

[Does your car have working A/C]

I would imagine it would be harder than doing a 3 stage pearl. Base, pearl, clear. I wonder how the tint sprays, like clear maybe?

[E46 Rust Repair]

The tinting of the carbon fiber hoods is accomplished by spraying a candy(color tinted clear) over them. Candies are available in every color of the rainbow so the possibilities are endless. Do not just add color to your clear coat as most colors are made with pigments and pigments are unpure and will make your clear cloudy, you must use colored dyes for this effect. NOTE: you cannot make something lighter so white and silver are out of the question. Sorry.

That's pretty interesting. So its a 3 stage. Base, tint, clear.

Brian, congrats on #2000. The paint was average for sanding. The 80s BMWs had some tough paint on them. Is there a video on youtube for your signature?

[What do you do, in your free time?]

I shoot pocket billiards.

[E46 Rust Repair]

Thanks Brian.

Earl, I do some work on the side when were not as busy. I was lucky enough to get the quarter done on a Saturday afternoon. Also, we don't do complete cars, only a few panels at a time.

REKIII, I haven't done much custom work. Anything is possible though. I would guess the guy mixed some black basecoat in the clear for the first coat, then straight clear for the second? I dont know about the longevity of that though.

Snap, I know what you mean. I did a new impala with a few hundred. The paint sanded easy though.

Schwartz is one of the easiest colors to blend. Its more technique than it is the mix, as far as blending/matching goes.

If your using Dupont, ppg, akzo nobel, etc you wont run into problems much. If using omni, duplicolor.. Good luck, you get what you pay for.

Post #200!

It requires patience, then practice. I am confident in my work. Ill take some pictures tomorrow actually. I dont want to pull a half cooked pizza out of the oven, its too cold out. Im fixing up an e90 this week, might have to add to this thread.

Mid-scuff and sand with 500 grit.

Wet base coat.

Clear coat.. with a thumbs up in the reflection.

Will get final pictures tomorrow.

I had a rust bubble and a ding on the quarter of my E46. I figured I would take the best method to removing it. Sand blast. Heres what the bubble looked like.

Weapon of choice. Speedblaster with recovery.

Here it is with a quick blast and sanding. It is important to not stop here. The blackness is rust.

Feather edged lightly and blasted away.

The little dinger.

Filler was drying. Checked the codes and got this?? I couldnt get into my ABS/DSC module.

The work area.

Before cleaning and tack cloth then primer.

Wet urethane high build primer made by Chuck Norris.
