looks like you got the peel just right but you didnt use a sagola hmmmm :whistle:
id hit it with 80 grit. feather the chips out, block it and prime
looking good. is the sagola really worth the time playing with it to get the texture just right versus a sata with automatic texture settings? :silly:
[quote=”smooth” post=29876]I dont envey you at all, that color is very bright, it almost hurts the eyes lol. Looking real good Jeremy.[/quote]
so it wasnt just my eyes. 😆 looks great
looking good! i would have approached this the same way. dont forget to test fit the outer before you final weld the inner. if the inner is off by just a bit everything will get thrown off.
i installed them about a month ago only because i switched to prevost couplers. they make a difference but not huge.
not a quality pic but the best my phone could take

[IMG]http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx325/303pusher/blackcv003.jpg[/IMG]good luck. keep us updated with the repair process
normally when pros repair a vehicle they do it by what OEM recommends and they try not to reinvent the vehicle or its components. its basically a liability issue as ding noted. if its your own car, feel free to do whatever you want to it; but when its someone else’s car, its also an ethical issue.
[quote=”gtome” post=29612]I bought the Sagola primer gun from Len and it is by far the best primer gun I have ever used. I have sprayed 4:1 feather fill, shop line, and DPS 3500 with it and it did great on all of them. I am very impressed with it. I didnt try slick sand with it though because of the 1.8 tip. I have a cheap 2.3 tip gun for that. But keep in mind I have never used a Sata primer gun, so I cant compare the two. But I cant imagine anything laying nicer than this Sagola.[/quote]
i dont think anybody here uses a sata for primer or any gun for that purpose in anticipation of laying primer down like glass. primer is supposed to be sanded anyways and the main thing u want in a primer gun is something with a large enough tip size to accommodate high viscosity primer. i have an old defynik poly primer gun which is a sagola and yes i love it only because its a 3.2 tip lol.
once you go sata you cant go back
yea the 4:1 does that. is that 3m red paper? try 3m purple paper.
and i thought working in a cold shop sucked. best of look to u!
:welc
ive tried the transtar and it dies horribly. used it only twice and i redid those jobs a month later. the only production clear which i found great was the debeer. it can be a little pricey but it can be sanded and buffed after a few hours if it needs it. it doesnt die but it can pop.
nice work jay. keep the pics coming
