1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I swear I can hear this post.

 

It occurred to me that if I really hit the gas I could probably have this rear axle cleaned up and mocked up under the Tacoma today. I'm still in pajamas so I guess the motivation ain't there yet

 

Not pretty bad but yes definitely catchall with a fingernail

 

It might be through the clear coat, really hard to tell over the interwebs

 

Do it for the ‘gram!

 

Fuck the gram, I gotta do what works for me

 

If it is through the clear coat it's not saveable?

 

You mean a group of breathless half interested mindless followers isn’t motivation for you? Weeeeird.

 

If ya buff it and it’s through the clear then you’re just making a hole. If it’s not through then you can buff up the scratch so it’s not visible.

I’d probably try buffing it a bit by hand and see what it does, but keep in mind that it might need touch up paint.




Also keep in mind the state of paint on my truck I may not be the best source of advice here.

 

I mean, it did for a while when I thought building trucks was a substitute for fixing my life problems and having a personality

 

Touch up paint pen and buff

 

Yup.

 

What's your go to buffing compound?

 

Got through to SCE finally and they said 'your power shows it was restored at 1130pm last night'

 

Beautiful. What’s this panel designed for? Looks fancy.

 

Beach sand and Elmer’s Glue

 

I'm not the best person to ask about paint care

I've used Meguiar's on the Tacoma to clean up haze in the clear coat though

 

I think what you want is polishing compound. There is a few different versions that are like different grits of sand paper. Been a long time since I looked though.

 

I think there's a paint care sub forum somewhere idk
