1973 Rebuild
i have been coating screws and bolt heads with no scratching after tightening them down. between the electric charge and the baking, the powder seems to fuse into the metal somewhat.

well, another small step forward today. the rear spoiler is painted. i debated for a couple of weeks between body color and black.......... prepped, primered, smoothed out, ready for color and the winner is............... this stuff actually works very well for a rattle can. it is a 2 stage paint with a very nice nozzle that sprays a pattern almost like a spray gun. once you activate the catalyst, the paint is only good for about 24 hours. i paid about $23 for the can, but a pint of regular paint would have cost that much. no clean-up of spray gun. i was able to put 4 coats on the spoiler including the bottom. came out very nice
