Cheers mate

Hi mate. With sanding the epoxy, do you use a 240 around edges and window frames or a finer grit? Cheers.

Glad you liked it

Thanks for watching mate

Thank you! 👍

good question, my brother keeps telling me I need clear on a 'Lettuce Alone' HQ SS that I'm ready to paint ... but I'm not so sure about that. I thought all HQs (and other oldies) where only clear on base for metallics.

Yes you can! In most cases variants of Color’s have a closer match in dg compared with cob and you can blend out a dg then clear it

@@RoverIAC same I did a lot of research it says COB is more for metallics, however I found heaps of videos and online stuff where professionals are clearing over a DG so I was a bit confused. Im doing my engine bay in DG and if it isn't as glossy, I'll rub it back and clear it as it seems its a common thing.

@@zolkoz4209 I'm thinking the newer cars (post 86ish) have the extra clear coat just so it can peel off a few years later and make you think about buying a new one. (I'm after that original 70s look)

Definitely will have to do get some for a video for sure

I’ve cleared over DG before which kind of does the same thing. In some cases a spectro reading and mixing variant was a closer match in DG compared with COB . So I used to mix and paint in dg and paint it the same as cob and clear it lol . Saved so much time and gains better UV protection 👌

Toyota one of the worst ..

A lot of it is a issue with the paint from the factory . I remember PPG had an issue with their solid DG white delaminating off their cars around 2000 . The same with Toyota . I did repaint some of them back in those days . And I even rectified other painters paintwork in cob for the same reason . We never got told of the reason . Some would say the preparation underneath wasn’t sufficient but everything was sanded with 320 in those days for DG and still had the issue

Only time will tell . There are many ways to do a car . Some are not the normal way a body shop may do them but hey it it works it works mate .
