Guest Tavis Miller Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 I have a 47 d-24. I pulled up the carpet and repaired the piece of floor that is removable. there use to be a little cover/panel that would let you access the master cylinder without having to pull the floor up. I miss-placed it (stupid me) does anyone know were i can get one? or does anyone have one lying around that i could buy off of them? another silly question... i know nothing about paint, or bodywork. and this may be a stupid question. what happens if you wax primer? I have another car that is primed up, but it is fading. Would the wax keep out moisture? or would it do the oppisite and keep moisture sealed in the primer? sorry for the bad spelling, i'm a dummy who's in a rush to get ready for a day of work on another nice delaware day. i should call out sick. i am, cough cough! haha thanks Quote
bob westphal Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 travis, If you must have the original M/C cover, PlymouthDoctor.com may make them. I made one from a piece of sheet metal. It is better to re-spray primer than to wax it. One of the problems with primer is that it is absorbs moisture. If you wax it it may lock in the moisture it has already absorbed. I have heard of some people waxing fresh primer to achieve a slight sheen. You can also get a sheen by just rubbing with a cloth. If you're looking for the matt finish, don't wax. Rod & Custom magazine has a good article about matt finishes in the latest issue. Bob Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 Actually I could be more concerned about the silicones in the wax..we be talking serious fisheye here and if waxed now and later sanded the dust now has contaminated lots of other areas that may need paint... Quote
Allan Faust Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 I agree with Tim on the silicones..... wouldn't want to be the paint man degreasing that one to finish it.... As for wanting a "primer" painted car.... companies have come out with lines of "flat" paint that looks just like primer, but is in reality a top coat.... with all the advantages.... and supposedly inexpensive....

Normspeed Posted March 29, 2007 Report Posted March 29, 2007 I read about a good satin black that doesn't get chalky over time and it is a sealer coat (not porous), John Deere Blitz Black. The downside is you supposedly can't paint over it later with regular auto paint, you have to remove all the blitz black first. Quote
