needs buffing out

[Plymouthy Adams]

any one got a buffer they can let me borrow, when removing some kitty hair on this panel I knew the results was not going to look good...am sure I can buff this out...

Ugh.

14,000 rpm with 36 hard grit.....the rust is gone....! well, at least the upper layer is gone...this will get acid etched and possibily even sandblasted

POOTER COAT IT !

[Plymouthy Adams]

the removed kitty hair should be reason enough for you NOT to pooter coat...lol

[Flatie46]

Oh no! You've removed all your patina! 

[Plymouthy Adams]

I removed only the ultimate results of PATINA left in place....as should anyone who is working a panel......lol 

if anyone is interested, the removed patina can be yours just for the cost of shipping....

Nice job.

Do you / have you ever used POR-15 or the like?

 

[Plymouthy Adams]

POR15 and I do shake hands now and then...mainly I use it in the tube, it is then listed as a patch/seam sealer agent,...it does a good job sealing cracks and such that you would find at some body joints and along old drip rail.  Even with that I probably do overkill on prep before using it.  I am not ever going to knock or discount the product....it does in my belief get overused too often is all.  You read so many entries and so many different forum, some doing what they call HIGH END work that suggest a layer of POR15 on a floor or trunk panel that is ridden with rust holes, a layer of fiberglass followed by another quick coat of POR15 as a permanent patch and substitute for metal.  It is tough stuff, I just of not think that is the intended end use of the product...but then that is just my reserved opinion.

you mean PURRfect...

[Plymouthy Adams]

front side of the panel got a patch......back side in primer, three wet coats.....the black what ever they had on the underside was pure garbage and took a bit to get off...my guess is 1.98 black bug bomb in a spray can...wally world special.....had to chemically clean it, gummed up the sandpaper awful.

I appreciate your posts, opinions and tips on body and paint work. I've tried to learn all I can over the years about it. I've done some patch work here and there, took some classes in auto body. I've always had been interested in the whole process. Thanks for posting
