Len Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Racer X I have been refered to you by a highly qualified Z Man that says(and I agree). That you can offer reccomendations on a durable primer and paint combo out of a rattle can. I have a white 280 zxt that I've just recieved lower front body parts from Vic british that I would like to paint before I attach to my car. What would you reccomend since I don't have a spray rig and have been using a spraycan? Any input would be appreciated Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted September 3, 2002 Author Share Posted September 3, 2002 Thanks RacerX You more than answered my question. I didn't realize paint suppliers had such things! But if I was just going to do a quick touch up on not very noticeable locations. What would you think more durable out of your pep boys spraycan Lacquer or Enamel? You see the guy that painted it before didn't use the stock # Datsun color of white. I am pretty lucky that the spray cans I've used is a pretty close match.

Len Posted September 3, 2002 Author Share Posted September 3, 2002 I bought my 83 280zxt about 1 1/2yrs ago. The guy who owned it before had a wife who when mad kicked the car . I've been doing touch up and I cut out and repaired a few places behind the rear wheels. I used enamel in some areas and also used lacquer out of a spray can in others. I to felt enamel was a little more durable than lacquer. Just wanted a little more educated 2nd opinion (thanks). I am really glad its a white car. So much easier to match. If you look close a person can see the difference. For that matter if a person looked close he would see alot more flaws than just a slight color shade . Daly City. I like that area. I was born in San Jose and raised in Palo Alto till I was 16 then around 1970 my parents kidnapped me to Oklahoma Thinking back I'm glad they did (finally forgave them HA!). Now I couldn't think of a better place to raise my kids than OK. I visit my mother who lives in Watsonville twice a year and see how crowded CA. has become. Even so, I always enjoy going back to visit. Its so crowded because someone let the secret out of the bag on how nice it is to live in CA. (climate, food, variety and diversity of terrain). Thank you for your help. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
