Seems like this would be the best hope of replicating the nuance of my L13M Saturn yellow that was badly missed with its previous paint job. But, I can’t seem to find anyone who can source it or much less has experience with it.
Anyone out there in 914 World have experience, advice, or sourcing tips they care to pass along? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellow914.JPG) |

an aside on base/clear coat cars with some of the work i have been picking away at over the last 2/3 years is that it seems to allow a lot more spider rust to start up under it.
i've been doing a bit of rust delay semi temporary work on the workshop owners 84 t-bird. its a heap of sh$t but still kind of interesting and charming in its own way. still lhd. he picked it up for peanuts. kind of a turd gold colour and clear coat original paint. been working all around the back window and had the trunk lid off. back to bare metal on the trunk lid. where the pinstripe decals ran across the lid and where the badges were double sided taped on some pretty good spider rust was really beginning to take hold. as well as from the usual odd chip from stone damage etc. we reckon the decals and the badges were trapping moisture or preventing the paint from breathing some how. quite noticeable. i should have taken some pictures. i noticed the same thing on the front hood of the my citroen xm. its a 99. clear coat paint. resprayed the hood because the original clear coat was failing. took it back to bare metal. lots and lots of spider rust forming from stone chips. some were starting to take hold. the falcon ute really had none of that. a hell of a lot less spider rust under its original factory paint. plain white, commercial vehicle paint job -pre clear coat days. even though its a 94 model. just an interesting thing i have noticed. two stage modern paint is not i think anything like as durable or strong as the older stuff. |
