The school I am referring to is a Community college.For the most part the above was a direct quote to what he was telling me,BUT I feel like even then I should have been a little more clear about the actual details of what he said.At first I felt like the teacher in question was just behind the times and not up to date. The more I thought about it the more it occurred to me that it couldn't be he was that behind because he said to use...

WHY? theres no way to make rust and not have it get worse. the only real option would be really good paint work but rust- look just does not make sense if you'v got a solid painted vehicle to start

I never said that a dura glass type of product is water proof. But is FAR more resistent than a standard filler will be. Have fun.

Unless you KNOW you have contaminated it somehow like oil got spilled on it, don't clean it with anything. Filler will soak up anything you apply to it and it is NOT necessary to clean it prior to primer. Brian

First, do all wetsanding in one direction. Finish with either 2500 or 3000. Compound it with Meguair's Soft Buff 2.0 burgundy pad with M105 ultracut. Finish the polishing with Megs white pad and M205 or 3M swirl mark remover for dark cars. Those spider webs are more than likely from buffing with wool. They might come out with polish, but you'll more than likely have to return to compounding ...

You could always go the POR15 route, followed by their chassis black. Or start with a epoxy primer, and paint. Depends on what you want it to look like. If you blast the bottom a roll on bedliner will work, but go with a more expensive brand. I've used dulpi-color on a bed, and even with proper prep it didnt want to stick after a few months.

if you can keep the filler under 1/8", it would be ok.. sounds like you might even get away with glazing putty

Sounds like what happens with a clump of primer dust or piece of dirt gets caught in the sandpaper by accident. Your sanding with say 600 grit but have a tiny piece of 240 size junk stuck into the paper. Not enough water used or the paper not kept clean, it leaves a random scratch that won't initially be seen( or even looked for since you are sanding with a finer grit) until it is top coated.

Gas charged cylinders are the way to go. Super simple to adapt. I am not at home so don't have access to my picture files but the whole key to making the gas lifts to work is where you mount the ends. For the ones I used on my Willys I took the cylinder end mounts (ball studs) and the cylinders from a Chevy Vega (many moons ago!!). Attach the ends to the edge of the trunk opening and to the ...
