I've heard alot of ppl talk trash about HF mostly online though.I got tons of HF stuff.Everything from socket/wrench sets to welders and air compressors.

Wow,its been a long time since I've been on here.Anyway,thought I'd update my progress.Life has somewhat gotten in the way.Still don't have the Stude painted yet but,I have managed to get the front end primered with some rustoleum.Only problem is I used white clean metal primer(cause I've...

I was just curious about it.I been hearing alot about lacquer ever since duplicolor came out with the paint shop stuff.I wouldn't even know where you could buy any lacquer at other than the paint shop line.I went checking around the other day and a guy at one store that I went to said he used to...

I'd do it,make sure its a driver and just about everything works.

I trying to figure out how and with what I want to cover my seats in my car.I'm looking for ideas.Car has a bench seat up front and in back.Any ideas would be welcome and I'd like to see what other ppl are doing.

I have no choice but to work in the dirt,well the grass that is.I got a small shop and its not big enough for my car to fit in.With my surplus of varies junk it wouldn't fit if I tried.It works out ok as long as its not 104 like it is here in SC right now.

I been checking out this forum for a while.Finally decided to join.Seems a little more laid back than other forums that I go on.Anyhow about 8 months ago I became the proud owner of a 59 Studebaker Lark.Got the car on the cheap but it needs alot of work.I've had to put a new floor in it and now...

Thats what I've been hearing from ppl that have used it.I just can't justify painting a $500 car with the paint that cost more than the car.I did opt to spend $8 bucks on primer though.It'll be awhile before I get it all painted.I'm just priming one peice of the car at a time right now.Gonna...

How many coats did you put on and did you prime it or not?

I'm still gonna being spraying it with a cheap HF gun that I got on sale for $14.99.So far so good too.I just wish they had more colors in the quart cans then they do.I'm guessing that I'll need about 2qts,hopefully.Only took 1/3 can(maybe not quite that much) to do the hood and front grill...

Well,after weeks of debating and hearing about what paint to use from ppl and what paint not to use from ppl I just decided to paint mycar with Rustoleum.Now before everybody get they underwear in a wad there are several reasons for this. 1)Is the fact that I've never painted a car before and...

I been useing the rustoleum for a while and I've got some stuff painted over,its been about a yr now and all is well.On my car I had to spray some down inside the pillars to kill the rust and so far so good.I can't sandblast either.Its just not in the budget.I know some ppl use more expensive...

So far I've been using 2 different kinds.One is Purple Power De-Ruster.You can get it in 1 liter bottles at Advance Auto.It works good and is cheap.Only about $6-8.Its clear outta the bottle.Its good if you use it and then paint over it.The other is Rustoluem rust reformer.It is more milky and I...

I'm doing the same thing right now with my car.The P.O. sprayed some weird crap on my car and I have no idea about what it is so I'm goin back down to bare metal.I've had good luck with a 4 1/2 elcheapo HF grinder with sanding disk.I also be using just a regular palm sand with some 30 and 60...

I checked them all Napa,O'reilly's,Car Quest,Advance.None of them had any at all other than spray bombs.I even went to a few mom'n'pops and they didn't have it.Everybody just had qt. cans of "primer" or lacquer primer.I don't know what gives either.I gotta get something on it soon.Is there...
