() Date: July 28, 2022 04:04PM Yea that seem to have survived better than I would have thought. I have an NOS grill on the shelf and mine is quite good. Still a very nice score. Sam Russell Durham NC 1962 Monza Wagon Ted Brown EFI Gen II 1964 Spyder coupe Re: Wild for a Wagon ![]() Posted by:

Our 65 Monza EO is almost completely disassembled and we are getting ready to start stripping paint, etc. It’s currently sitting on a dolly similar to yours ![]() San Juan Islands, WA 1966 Corsa Coupe 180/4 Marina Blue/Blue Re: Wild for a Wagon ![]() Posted by:

() Date: August 17, 2022 07:07AM Your looking at my booth setup! ![]() That is also why I always cut and buff my paint. If a bug lands in it the cut an buff takes care of 90%. For being a driveway spray, I always get asked, who did you paint? Would you do mine? (I only do my own). So objectively, it has to be pretty good. As for gun I love my DeVilbiss GTI, I think now called DeVilbiss GTI Millennium. -Tom ![]() 63' Monza Spyder Convertable (in process) MY Build Thread 62' Wagon rebuild MY Build Thread 65' Monza MY Build Thread 73' NovaSS 454 Big block (Sold) 86' BMW 325es 67' UltraVan 211 "Violet" NFCC, UMCC Grand Island, NY Re: Wild for a Wagon ![]() Posted by:

The clear coat is Southern Polyurethanes High Solids Clear.

() Date: August 17, 2022 09:25AM Awesome, thanks. I've taken a patched and dinged up car to blocking and final primer before but always chickened out before spraying color. I had no idea something like that could be done in the driveway. Hmm... Ken Henry, Rochester, NY USA 1965 Corvair Corsa 140 hp, 4 speed Re: Wild for a Wagon ![]() Posted by:
