A DA sander is an air sander.  It is usually with a six inch pad for six inch wet or dry sandpaper.  When you sand the clear coat you want to use it wet.  This keeps the paper from clogging.  I use the DA sander on flat surfaces only when sanding clearcoats.  It is easy to sand through the clear

Imron is just a brand name.  Many of the paint company make single stage urethane paints that do the same thing.  The urethane paints were used several years ago before the base clear coat paints arrived on the scene.  I like the premium line base clear coats because they are so much easier to w

I've done body work for thirty five years.  I am a firm believer in using quality paint and undercoats.  Limco and the other generic brands don't have the UV protectors that your major brand paints have.  We've tried many brands of the cheaper paints and they just don't hold up.  I would not spe

I have a friend who has had several race cars.  He said they tested the 100LL against 93 octane auto gas and the auto gas came out with more horse power on the  dynometer.  He also said the auto fuel ran smoother and had less problems with the valves after the engines were broken in.  Embry Ridd

Don't clean your brushes.  Go to Harbor Freight and get some chip brushes.  I buy them by the box and they are cheap.  Throwing them away does less damage to the enviroment than cleaning them and worrying about what to do with the used cleaning solution. --- On Wed, 4/8/09, pk.sm...@bigpond.net
