Oh geeeze another flare ?, and some paint related ? Options

[Brotherbob]

I am looking to buy a set of flares for my 914. I found a guy on ebay that sells the fiberglass flares for around 200 a set of four? I also looked at the bird board and they sell them for 100+ each for glass? I guess you get what you pay for?

paint related ?
With a mix of fiberglass and bare metal steel , my guess is you use a flex primer ,flex base coat and clear?
I plan on painting the car back to Saturn yellow as it was from the factory. Does anyone have any ideas on what type of primer, paint or clear to use?
I am on a budget and thank you for your help. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/type.gif)
Is POR 15 a flexible primer? I really like it for its rust incapsulation properties.

I 've used POR 15 on very bad rust,scuffed it and then epoxy primered over it.I would rather replace the rust though with new metal.I use epoxy primer over bare metal as a base to start everthing else after that.You can put your body putty over that after scuffing it and then put another coat of the epoxy over the body work.That seems to do the best to keep the body work from shrinking.A good primer surfacer after that,a sealer,then your paint.I use PPG paint,basecoat- clearcoat,but I know that some painters use PPG's 'generic' brand of paint with no complaints.There are a lot more inexpensive paints,you just have to take a chance on whether the final product is what you're looking for.As far as the flexible paint,there is a flexing additive you can add to all of you products,but with the basecoat,you really don't need it.And unless your parts are flexing all of the time,or you are going to be flexing them putting them on,you could probably get away with not adding any additive.

Thanks for wondering what my opinion would be.So many painters have their own ideas and preferences.I just hope I helped a little. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
