  1. 1G 1g door scuff plates

    Does anyone know if 91 and 92 Eagle Talon Door scuff plates interchange?
  2. Wheel id

    Anyone have a idea what these are? Probably look ok after that crap paint is removed.
  3. Hannover Green Metallic

    Anyone have pictures of their 1gs in this color? I'd like to see them.
  4. WTF ? Prepping for paint

    I used cheap nason base and upol urethane clear. I'm not sure how much your going to paint but doing a whole car in a booth/garage a air supply or good mask is mandatory. Here is my father in laws laser, 1st pic is the factory paint/primer that was good enough to primer over down to 180...
  5. WTF ? Prepping for paint

    80, 180, 220 for stripping. 400 for solid colors and 600 for metallic when sanding primer and high build for topcoat. Pretty much standard.
  6. WTF ? Prepping for paint

    Just aircraft paint stripper, but again read to make sure it is safe. Forum below they are dealing with it and appears it is. Do you have a DA sander? I have a little 3" one I bought at Harbor Freight that I would use on something like that with 180 or 220.What is the preferred method to...
  7. WTF ? Prepping for paint

    I'd stick the tip of a razor blade under the edge of one of those chips and see how easy more will chip off. If its coming off easy I'd remove it all. I believe you can use stripper on composite and fiberglass material but read before doing so. The other option would be soda blast or careful...
  8. WTF ? Prepping for paint

    No I think it probably is, they might have did a scuff and blow, was their topcoat over that primer or did they just primer and quit?
  9. WTF ? Prepping for paint

    They may have used too fine of paper or no flex agent on the fiberglass. Pics look more like chips coming off more than anything. Wes covered it very well.
  10. Car paint

    If it were me would spray a test panel and then thin some of the mix and see how much of a mist will make it flow out again. Otherwise you'd have to sand it again with 400 etc.
  11. Car paint

    It's laquer thats why, you can take paint chips, mix them with laquer thinner and respray it if you wanted. It's doesn't hold up as well as a modern paint system either. Good ole days of 10 coats that's shines like crazy when buffed out. Not as dangerous to spray as urethane also.
  12. Car paint

    Put some laquer thinner on a rag and wipe it off lol. A hot mix will re-flow what you painted. I've never used it but its forgiving. Some old timers on autobody forum will be able to tell you how to do it.
  13. Car paint

    I believe that's laquer, no recoat window on that stuff, easy to fix.
  14. Car paint

    Was that single or dual stage? Looks like a dry spot or dye back.
  15. Car paint

    The dupont nason they sell at orileys isn't too bad, put a good clear over it. Red however had terrible coverage. Think I had a half gallon of red for the 1g laser, 1 gallon reduced. If it wasn't red would'be had left over. I used cheap kirker epoxy primer. Still looks nice two years...
  16. Rim choice

    Currently have 18" Enkei ev5s with 215/40s. Not really interested in lowering the car, but it does have a lot of clearance between fender and tire. I think these rims might be too attention getting. Would a set of stock 97 gsx rims look better? Any input welcome.
  17. preperation for paint

    You shouldn't get bondo wet, it has talc and will soak up water and rust from below or bubble thru your paint eventually. Nothing wrong with going to to metal but if the paint is intact as in not peeling or rusting I wouldn't bother. You want to pull or pound out the dents as much as you can...
  18. 92 Laser Paint w/o paint code

    Looks like the electric blue. Take it to a good auto paint store, one that sells auto paint. They should have your color chips and variants, take them outside in the sun and match them up.
  19. Valve Cover Hardware / Bolts

    This link has them and the sizes etc.ColumbusDSM - 2G Turbo FWD Bolt & Fastener Wizard
  20. 1992 laser spoiler

    Thanks, I think it'd look better with a spoiler. Guess I need to keep my eyes open for one.
  21. 1992 laser spoiler

    Go to the tech tab, then make and model for 92 1gb laser.
  22. 1992 laser spoiler

    Did all turbo lasers come with a spoiler in 92? If so I could use a few good pics, mine is missing. I do not see holes for one.
  23. looking for feedback Dupli-Color "Paint Shop" paint

    The duplicolor stuff is lacquer, it will fade fast, chip easier. Your better offer getting some cheap urethane. How far down are the chips? metal? Primer? Something was done wrong or not mixed right, wrong temp etc.
  24. Changing a door lock

    Replacing a bad door, what needs to be removed in order to switch the lock or cylinder? Whole door panel need to come off?
  25. 2G What's my paint code?

    Everything affects metallic, here is a link that might help.Auto Color Library - The World's Largest Online Color-Chip Library
  26. doing prep work for paint job- what color primer to use?

    For me I sand the rock chips down to bare metal and blend them in, small rock chip will end up looking like a golf ball or bigger when blending. They are usually pits of rust if they go down past the primer. If theres no rust I'd do the spot puddy and blend like vanilla said.
  27. doing prep work for paint job- what color primer to use?

    160 will show thru the paint. There are also 2 types of paper, the newer grade has a p in front like p600, which is close to 400(cami) and is what you want to use before base, metallic and black take finer usually. If a panel is peeling I'd take all the clear off that whole panel, water...
  28. doing prep work for paint job- what color primer to use?

    As long as the clear is not coming off you can/have to sand it for other paint to stick. The laser i'm doing now was peeling so I stripped it all off to base and undercoats. My whole car is in primer because I was also worried about all the red matching. I took it a step farther and put high...
  29. doing prep work for paint job- what color primer to use?

    If you car is all one color after the primer skip the sealer, just another chance to get junk in your work. Check your tech sheets about the recoat time for your primer. If you wait too long you might have to scuff it all so another coat will stick.I agree go over it with 600, are you...
  30. Clear Tails Tail Lights Taillights [Merged]

    That would be the stock wing as far as I know.
  31. Rare "clear" tailight?

    Are these the rare tailights that people always talk about? I had a picture at one time but I can't find it
  32. Clear Tails Tail Lights Taillights [Merged]

    No, thats actually my car. I didn't know if it was a knockoff or not like everything else the previous owner installed. I bought a set of stockers, still debating on pulling them out or not.

  34. How do you remove 1g side vents

    Thanks for the tips. The outer part has some sort of rivet, the louvers are bolted in still. If I wasn't worried about the paint matching I would tape over them:shhh:
  35. How do you remove 1g side vents

    How do you remove the side vents behind the door? They seem to have a pop type rivet holding the louvers and screws behind them. I don't want to break them trying to pry them off.
  36. Roof all dented up...

    Is there any oil can dents? Probably so I suspect you might need some shrinking done also. A child can do bondo:) Mix, spread, sand. Post some pics.
