Put new centre bolts in?
nice Jasmines a great colour, i didnt get new centre bolts (the one with the locator head) i wire wheeled got a thin file into the thread and repainted put in and touched up i got new bolts for that clamped section i didn't know where to get a bolt that had the locator round head on it, bolt only had gunked up thread the actual bolt was still good ive got new shackles that look great they come painted black but i may repaint the same black as my chassis, speaking of i was hoping to blast today, severe thunderstorm warnings for melbourne today, i need a nice day because my blaster mate normally does boats so its outside in a big pen and i have to transport the bare chassis home to paint so i may think about a good car carcover but we need 2 hours of good weather so my diff and a few other small bits can be blasted too
just got back from kingswood country, a nice bag of parts chassis blasting has been set for friday, cant come fast enough im going to blast the control arms now as well figure i may as well so i can paint them with por 15 without using there expensive cleaners its going to be a more resilient paint in the end, was going to do them in 2 pac but that scratches easily
i brought it home to paint in por 15 then a pro 15 satin chassis coat
chassis sandblasted this morning!!!!
Looking good, will come up like new.
"Proud To Be An Old Fart".
yeah that POR15 is a good paint im going to get a bit more and flip the chassis over to give the engine bay section an extra coat as its seen more so i will give it a light sand to smooth it up even more, will end up with 4 coats in the engine bay of nice satin black chip resistant paint
love por 15 for coverage and gloss hardened finish but price wise its pretty expenive just paid $53 for 500ml to finish small job
How much does 500ml cover,can you store it for a while if you buy a large tin and use a bit at a time. I've read a bit about it a few on here use it , is that what is used on your whole chassis and bolt ons if so how much have you used SANM4N I've 2pac painted my tonna chassis but reassembly has given me a few scratches so might use por15 on my ute when I do it
ive used a litre of the por 15 on my chassis and diff, and just under a litre of the por top coat to do the chassis and diff i still have to do all the control arms and bits and pieces so i have to get another litre i think i paid $90 a litre for the por 15 and $115 per litre for the chassis black por paint, you can store it but they recommend gladwrap under the lid and refrigerated so ive got the little bit of chassis black in the beer fridge i dont know if i would use there chassis black again i only did it because POR15 dulls off if exposed to sunlight so i got the top coat which is a satin but i dont think it looks as good, (the body might not go back on this year so if its out of the garage and in the carport i dont want it to fade)
