Alexia Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 decent, keep it up noticing you don't have any putty glaze in the pics, youll need that to blend the bondo can't wait to see more There is no filler applied yet and I definitely will not be using Bondo. Rage Xtreme in generally does not require a glazing putty since if it is applied correctly it should not get pin holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3RESQ Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm really interested to see how the flat paint holds up to dirt, grim, and washing. Just curious if using a quality flat like this deal with the issue of it looking uneven after time. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious if using a quality flat like this deal with the issue of it looking uneven after time. Keep up the good work! It actually has a near satin finish to it. Care basically consists of washing with microfiber cotton towels wrapped over sponges making sure to rinse more often. Removing bugs requires patience by spraying with a tar removal spray, letting it sit, and then gently wiping it away. Das Mule used the same paint on his van.

MancheKid86 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 The rage extreme is bondo, and the glaze isnt just for pinholes, You sand the "body filler" with 80 grit that is way to coarse for high bild primer/sealer/paint The putty glaze blends and fills the scratches, and is able to fi.ish in a much finer grit, reducing the ammount of times it needs to be high builded and sanded, and is also allows the bondo to flex with the metal more, Just a tip dude, I like your progress so far But seriously keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 None of these were dents. Just small pieces of surface rust that needed ground and then leveled. I am being incredibly picky for a matte finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having an air delivery issue at the spray gun and a new pressure regulator is on the way. The primer on the hood came out splotchy from poor atomization.

I put a small air water separate on the bottom of the gun. However, it seems the separator significantly drops the pressure. I have a large regulator at the tank, but this separator is making it difficult to judge by how much. I am going to get around it by setting the tank regulator at 100 PSI, through the hose, water separator, and then into a small regulator set to 29 PSI at the gun. The should fix the drop I am seeing and allow the separator to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Primer everywhere! Not sanded yet. Failed primer on the hood due to poor air flow at the gun. It needs sanded and redone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korsch_RS Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Can't wait to see it painted! I really like the color and satin finish on the van. Bummer about the hood though. Live and learn I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have been slow working on this. The next two weeks are perfect for painting though with temperatures around 75ºF during the day and evenings. Flaw Marking - Hashes, need to hard sand away chips/pits. Not shown, slash mark, apply body filler following the mark. Huh, lacquer thinner should not remove factory paint that easily. Whoops, apparently paint was blended into this door during a repair and poorly cured acrylic paint was used. That is the VIN sticker. I spent an hour or so extra just cleaning up this paint mess. Hood, now in proper primer! This is my door tree where I grow Cherokee doors. The red color showing means they are starting to ripen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
