I haven't sprayed that exact product so I can't really say how good it is. I have sprayed this guys stuff and I can say it's excellent. Texture and color look spot on. 1 can goes a long way as well.

Thank you Shane,

I'm not sure about a paint code. But he list the different paints by application. He has the one you need listed "dark gray argent"

Thanks for the comments.

Think I should be able to request the textured argent paint be shipped by land. 


Yes, most paint and volatile chemicals automatically ship ground as they are not allowed in aircraft.

Down to bare metal,  Repaint 100%

Q.
They are afraid that the chrome moldings around the windshield and rear window will bend when pulling them out.
Any ways to avoid that?
Do they sell the chromes?

They do sell reproduction window trim, but with patience and the proper tool, the old ones should come off without bending.

Is that white under the green a primer or body filler? Looks like a contaminated surface is your culprit. Up close do the little spots look like surface rust? All the trim should come off without damage if you just take your time. Probably one of the easier cars I have worked on for removing trim.

Manuel



No reason for filler.   Must be primer I guess.

Paint shop told me they believe this all was moisture between the primer and the paint and that the metal is still ok.

I will go to the shop today and see al in detail.

Having this help here is great.   

By the way, already have  1 pint of grill paint.   Do you all think it will be enough to do the front grill and wheel centers?

Thank you much!!

Shane Kelley

That should be just the right amount of paint for what your doing.

On the car. It looks to me like the moisture was on the metal under the primer. That's why the primer is popping loose I'm going with my original guess that moisture was in the air supply when they primed the bare metal.  :alan2cents:

Good news that 1 pint will be enough.
