1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Could just be a safeguard that Oreilys is doing just in case any one asks.

 

...tis what i did, tis what every car that got paint at our schools shop had done to it always came out great after a cut and buff

My tailgate lasted (till i wrecked it), took wax well, and shined i never cut or buffed it either

 

I haven't seen one in Indiana. Then again our paint don't take a week to cure

 

I figured out why my clear was going on so orange peeley. I didn't adjust the gun properly, too much liquid was flowing and not enough air. This new layer of clear I'm spraying is going on smooth.

 

You ever paint a car? Shit takes forever to cure no matter where youre at.

 

I didn't realize you were a body shop professional.

Almost every paint booth is heated or has IR lights. You don't need it to cure, but it helps speed it up. California paint only applies for the propellant in rattle cans. I'm using professional body shop stuff you mix and spray in a spray gun, it is the same stuff you can buy anywhere else in the country.

 

Yeah the whole skyline thing is a classic case of not giving people what they want. For no real reason. Even Honda finally buckled and gave us a Type R.

 

Nope but I been in plenty of booths to collect old chemicals

 

Heaters are built into the paint booth, they're not rolling style ones like I have.

 

I can guarantee you automotive paint takes forever to dry. Even in Middleofnowheresburg, Indiana.

 

Did it ever occur to you that I just like throwing the Cali thing at you cause you react to it

 

Go back to your rust cave.

 

I'm just poking fun at him cause he's so gullible.

 

How's that asbestos gas filter lol

 

How long is forever, like i said from bondo to installed the same day for my tailgate and it worked out well, nothing's ever perfect

I had to wrap it up that day cause it was the last school day before winter break

 

All this talk of paint drying is quite fitting as Im sitting here waiting for the 1st coat of poly to dry on my chair. Freakin beautiful wood grain. Made right here near my hometown back when people took pride in Furniture.

 

North Carolina is famous for building fine furniture.

 

Oh yeah. My area in particular. In fact, our bi-annual Furniture Market/Trade show got canceled for this Spring. Huge blow to our local economy. Also, we have the worlds largest chest of drawers among other large pieces of roadside furniture.

I think I like the red stripe and bumpers.

 

Really interested in seeing your opinion on the Alcans. I have some Toytec 3 degree shims sitting in my garage. Also looking at axle relocation plates so I need to decide on one or the other. I think the axle sits a bit too far forward on double cab short beds. But the pinion angle needs fixing more probably.
