Very interesting, and damn it happened to one of my 1600's. I resprayed it 1980 using Mark's method 2 (seemed like a good idea at the time and a respected resprayer recommended it as the way to go - we are talking over 20 years ago, so things change no doubt)- At the time is was a fantastic job and if you're 20 meters away from it and can't see the roof it still looks reasonably good today. Problems arose after the car was garaged (as in off the road) for about 5 years or so and within 6 months or so of being brought back into daily use the roof has cracked as in totally f*($ed.
The question is what is the best way to recover from this? Do a full respray as in take the lot back to metal - I'm pretty much inclined to do this anyway but I thought I'd ask seeing as this topic arose. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of mark krawczuk Sent: Tuesday, 10 June 2003 10:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: paint.... hi, this is a little confusing but here goes............ you can spray enamel over acrylic or anything else, except beleive it or not some very solvent sensitive enamels. virtually the only two ways to paint over enamel safely is to first either , remove all the enamel , or give ita good rub, and very carefully apply a two pack primer. the second way will work , but not reccommend for a show car type of respray, - .what can happen on a hot day, is that the enamel underneath the primer, can become soft from the heat and move while the two pack undercoat stays hard . the movement underneath the 2 pak undercoat can cause the 2 pak primer to crack., maybe....... --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
