Rusty's not very quiet cuda progress

I'm getting turned on...

why does everything cool invoke the rigidity of youth?

Omni, was a little dissapointed when I talked to the ppg salesperson today, told me it was cheaper paint, not as many solids in it, I never asked for cheap! but just gotta do more coats, results are supposed to be the same??????????????
 
DO NOT USE THE OMNI CLEAR! It has a yellow tint to it. Don't ask me how I know this.
 
Oh yah. It looks great Rusty. Bet it feels good to see some color on her.
 
[smilie=2: It's already on the bottom, got most of the gallon left!
does it turn yellow later, or right from the get go???? looks pretty good so far ? Rich.
 
I guess I over reacted. I have a buddy who used it on a white car and it gave the paint a yellow tint right from the get go. He did use it on dark cars but only until what he had, had been used up.
 
Yeah..

The Omni clear is a pretty good clear actually in my opinion. I wouldn't use the Base on anything. It just doesn't cover as nice. But it will cover.
 
Guess I could ask, well I WILL ask, if I can shoot ppg over the omni next time I'm in the paint shop, I wish they woulda at least explained the differences to me when I ordered it, I just said mix up E7 & thats what they gave me, no mention of brands, options, nothin!
If not on this car, the 74 will definatly have a choice! Rich.

bought a little spray bomb thingie & tested it tonight, nice & small sprayed into the receses with it, messy but at least I can get some paint in there! Rich.
