hey guys, looks like i'll be needing to paint my front valance. It is pretty badly scraped and i'll probably need to reshape it a bit too....what paint should I use and where can I get it....I heard Wurth is good, anyone have experience with it?

Last I asked arround, Wurth was the way to go. I never actually got around to the project, so I dont have any first hand expereince. I got some helpful advice in the History/ originality section of the club site, pre- world.
Good Luck! Konrad |

Well, first - looks like you have a LE dam (of sorts) on the car - correct?
If so, I can offer no help. If it's a steel piece, I can offer assistance that will cause ALL kinds of bitching! But, it's fun! Pat |

I get black paint at Pep Boys that is made for those plastic bumper covers on new cars and there are three different types of black: shinny, semi-gloss and flat. The semi-gloss seems to work well and I also use it on the rocker panels and inner fenders of the race car. It does not have a lot of build up and does not chip and crack easily.

Was thinking about powder, but looking for alternatives as well. Not to hijack, but your advice would be appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I just had my car painted, the painted used herculiner, it came out nice.
I have been told you can buy the stuff in a can. I was going to have it just painted in a satin black, but the herculiner will hold up more. Small setting on the sprayer gives it a stock texture..That's about all I can offer, I know not much.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Doens't look anything like original & isn't all it's cracked (no pun) up to be. If you have steel. strip it, prime it, base coat it, Shutz it, topcoat it. |
