Got a suprise after I got my 260z freshly painted

POR-15? Ehhh... I'd bet Gary will put primer sealer and that is all. I've known way too many who have found rust in panels sealed with POR and the likes.

Herman, stop finding rust and drive the damned car! :-)

wow......the POR-15 I have seen is really nice and efficient steel protection. Sorry to hear of your POR-15 issues

Irregardless, it will be fixed, and Sacramento is far enough inland to keep the salt air off of her.

Can't want to see this car done....color is sweet and it looks really straight.

Thank you. The color is amazing and the body is quite straight. Now to be able to be behind the wheel

Haha, well if all things are clear and this step of my restore is complete, I'll be there at the beginning of February and we will see about that

Keep that chick off the hood!

Keep that chick off the hood!

Haha, don't like the 70's sales ploy with that ad?

[Mikes Z car]

That is a rare hood ornament.

Haha, that it is. I just want to be behind the wheel of my Z again. It's been a long wait. But it will all be worth it when I get behind the wheel again

There's a company called PM industries in NJ. That makes chassis primer and paint that is way better (IMO) than POR-15. Way thicker, stronger, and CHEAPER! They give you full data test sheets with it. They even make engine bay coatings that are totally chemical resistant. The stuff is a type of bridge paint or something. I painted the dump bed on a retired VT state plow truck. They hauled sand and gravel in it and it held up well. The bed was almost shot before I started. I needle scaled it, primed and painted. The owner was very happy. I think it was under $500.00 in materials for the whole job.

Just a thought. they're on the interweb. JR.

I appreciate the information. The shop where my car is at is pretty amazing and I gave Gary full "carte blanche" to do what is necessary to make my car back to what it was back in the day and to last me into the future. I trust him fully and to get things done for me. If need be, I could always look into more sealers in the future.

I couldn't have gotten a larger smile on my face when this message showed up on my phone.

Thanks Gary!!! I can't wait to see her

[HermanM]
