Just a quick aside on the issue of painting over rust. I replaced most of the rusted out areas on my car with new metal, but I needed something to coat the remaining areas (surface rust). I considered POR-15 because all the reports seemed very positive. However, I was put off by the need to overcoat it to prevent UV damage (this from the mfg instructions). I decided to try the Rust Bullet that I saw advertised on THIS FORUM. I gave it 2 coats (per mfg instructions). I put them on back-to-back, with about an hour drying time in between, using a very cheap brush (on the undercarriage), which I then threw away. The next day it was the hardest painted surface I've ever seen. I could hit it with a hammer (which I did to take out some dents) and it hardly showed. I recommend it. Wear gloves and old clothes, because if you get it on you (which I did), it takes DAYS to wear off -- it is REALLY tough stuff. LanceB

Website I stumbled across. Thought I would share if there was any interest.

That is the site that directed me here. I've been reading this for a couple months now and am hooked. I'm likely within half an hour of 69chargeryeehaa and am hoping to catch a glimpse of that car at either a gas station or a cruise night next summer.
I have a question with respect to buffing tools. I had been shopping for a good deal on a PC7424 when I was given a Waxmaster W6000 for Christmas. I realize this is not a tool of the same calibre as the PC stuff, but can I get away with something like this over a Tremclad job?
I've been looking at the Tremclad Wild Raspberry as it is a pretty good match for the original maroon of my car.
Mopar content. The vehicle on the left is my dad's '74 Tradesman, which we got in '75. The Corvair has been in that primer since 1971 or so.

i sold the car to a guy i know that is a friend of mine that also has another 69 charger. He knew everything about the car and how it was painted, he loves the car. I really liked the car alot, but there were things that i did'nt like, mostly the gas consumption, and the brut size of the car made it a real pain to work on since i had about 6" to spare in my garage. I have a double garage, but that charger was HUGE, and since i like to work on my cars durring the winter it really made that hard and a pain. i got really good $ for the car, it is local, and i can go see it whenever i want and even drive it. All my cars are not garage queens, i drive my cars alot, in the time i had the charger (1yr 3 months) i put 30000mi on the car. The 1mpg gas mialage really got old fast!!!! I actually bought my "new" toy before i sold the charger, i got a deal on my new toy i just could'nt pass up, and it is my other "dream car". Heres a pic, 1957 Porsche Speedster: i stole the porsche, and made good $ on the charger, so i have no regrets. I'm really confortable with the VW/Porsche cars, they are so easy to work on, and they're quick and still get 30+mpg. Quote:
Sold it? SOLD IT?!?!? Doesn't that mean this tread will implode and tear a rift in the space-time continuum or something?
Yes, yes it does, it was my long term plan muhahahahahahahaha

actually i was thinking that too!!!! but this car warrents a "real" paint job, i was thinking a dark silver/gun metal grey metalic, they look sweet in that color. If i were doing a non-metalic color i'd for sure roller it to perfection, but since i really want a metalic paint job i'm forced to spray. The interior is tan leather, too bad the paintjob is flawless, i'm not crazy about red, but at least this color is Porsche "guards red" and it's a nice red for being red. The car is so small, i could eaisly spray this car in my garage, there's no roof, it's actually a really small car, you can see in the pic, my lowered beetle dwarf's that car!!!, and a geo metro dwarf's my beetle!!!!

Its the nicest porsche ever, 2nd being the original 911.
But I must insist silver is the nicest colour, have a search on google images. You arent tempted to try and use brightside silver and really buff it for hours with some 3m rubbing compound??
Oh and I dont think this post will ever end, it may deserve its own dedicated forum but im sure the mopar board is thankful for all the hits it gets as a result of this post.

Can anyone try to make a quick video and put it on youtube or so what that way I can see how to do it. Please try to use rusto pro black. For some reason i'm getting alot of runs or to thick. When i sand it down you can see the under coat. Please let me know that way I can learn how to paint a section on my bumper.

Mine didn't I actually had to use another roller to knock down the bubbles but other then that it went on well.. But I had to use little to no pressure on the rollers just enough to have the paint flow.
