EvilRufusKay Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 John, Did you spray the POR -15? I used a brush for mine...took too long and some of it looked liked arse. I used the chasis black for the underside and wheel wells though. Kinda wish I had used the tie-coat instead.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 John - Incredible work and attention to detail. Congrats!!!! I can't wait to see the car when it starts going back together... BTW the Bertone Volvo....that is a pretty rare beast, don't see too many of those bady boys on the road anymore, they were rare to begin with! Keep up the great work and keep us updated.

blueovalz Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 We love cameras (the digi type anyway)! Looks like a good start to your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john kosmatka Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Thanks guys, Rufus, I sprayed mine I just used an old binks #7 type gun and thinned it out it bit, then I went over the chassis coat with the tie coat. worked good for me. Mike the convertible in the backround is a 58' caddillac eldorado convertible, pretty rare car. Yasin, yup those bertones are pretty rare made something like 2000 cars for 1990. Thanks for the compliments. Datsun327, I havent used there kits but there individual products are great, ive used the engine enamels, metal mask, black rust preventitive stuff and the tie coat is a primer that lets you lay any top coat over por 15. Thanks for the comments, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Juday Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Lookin' sweet, John! Planning to go bumperless out back? Nice Volvo. I like what Bertone did with the early Volvos. Basicly the old hot rod trick of chopping the top. 8) (Got to capitalize that name, John. Bertone is a fine Italian car designing name. Bear-tone-ie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered what they would look like in a convertible. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
