    If your gonna use fiberglass,just use the por w/'glass mat,works better than the mat & resin for that. I've had very good luck stopping/repairing rust w/the POR.It has saved my cressida(truly did stop the rust in its tracks,5 years ago,on my front fenders) and the stuff is unbelievably...

    POR-15 can be found online,and ordered right from the website http://www.por15.com/POR-15-Rust-Preventive-Paint/products/1/ The starter kit should be enough to do what you have to do on your car,not bad price either,and comes with everything.

    Looks damn near like mine when I started it.Found receipts for several paint jobs on it(all single stage white)there was areas with over 1/4" of paint build on them.Stripped the whole car to bare metal,then decided I wanted to go black,and got carried away. After I did the whole car black,I...

    Prime after the bodywork,bondo will stick to bare metal best(use 80 grit to prep the metal for bondo) The purpose of the primer is to provide a consistent substrate for the paint,and to help fill minor imperfections. Lacquer was used up until late 70's/early 80's for a lot of cars.It dries...

    The urethane primers are compatible w/damn near everything also,only concern is over lacquer,which can be done,but will wrinkle if your first coat is too heavy(solvents in the primer "eat" the lacquer)Waterborne is typically not good for home use,takes a ton of airflow to dry.

    painting the supra

    Only some flaws,bad body work mostly.This is true with any darker colors,more so if they're solid color.You would be surprised at how much clear will hide in a black paint job. White you can get away with a lot. Heavy metallic colors hide flaws(bad body work,dings)well,but show sanding scratches...

    Mixing brands has no ill effect,that's mainly a marketing ploy to get you to buy their entire line of products.The paint shops I work at mix brands on a daily basis,have so for 15+ years,with no bad effects whatsoever(no warranty claims have arisen from mixing brands either) The chemical makeup...
