Re: frame paint
I've painted a few open wheel race cars with it, just don't like it - didn't like the coverage, the way it laid out, etc... I think you get what you pay for.

Re: frame paint
In my shop we use Glasurit and on most GM's we use single-stage with a flattening agent and depending on the gloss or sheen to aqiure the choice it goes by weight not the percentage of mixture, very easy, super durable. I have been using Glasurit for many years and it is a great product.

Re: frame paint
So, you are saying that the flattening agent works better on the weight measurement then on the percentages? No wonder I was having problems.

Re: frame paint
Its not that the weight works better, mixture for Glasurit paint requires you to weigh the mixtures for flat, semi and so on. We can paint something 2 weeks later to match to another part and being that it goes by weight you will never have a problem with parts or other items matching the shade or gloss.

Re: frame paint
Did you use a rattle can eggshell clear or was it mixed?

Re: frame paint
I ran across the following photo which I have had for years... This is a NOS subframe "allegedly from the early 70's" were the subframes originally this dull or was this a protectant before painting?
Or did the correct sheen age over the years?
