There appears to be some nano-particles contaminating the electron cloud in the sub-atomic molecules.

Do you have access to an electron microscope?

:p

Last coat will be applied this weekend.

You're learning and gaining experience, that's the important thing. I'd say it looks pretty good, considering what you started with and what you have to work with. You can probably now see that IF you had a patch panel, a small welder and knew how to use it, it would have been a LOT less work in the long run.....but that's OK. You get major Kudos in the "Git 'er Done" department! Just think of what you could do with the proper tools and equipment!

X about 1000!

So basically Rustoleum....

That would be my choice for this particular application.

IF the car had not been previously painted with "rattle cans" and had the original finish then laquer may work.

Rustoleum FTW!

Laquer has a better shine, but is softer than enamel. Go with the Rustoleum.

As I stated earlier in the post "Painting the Festiva" (post #86, page 9), laquer has "bite" which can lift the present paint.

I personally would go with an enamel. It's a LOT more forgiving when applied over multiple kinds of paint.

I'm thinking of painting it with laquer … and a blueish colour.

A-would you like an apple pie with tha-at? (YouTube ding fries are done)

[KJ4YXY]

Fries are done.

Don't get it …

Fries are done.

It's starting to look good!

I hope you can match that funky Forrest green color. There's a rustoleum shade called Hunter green. It's pretty closed. Go with the top of the line Rustoleum...IIRC it's called "Industrial".

The problem I kept having was that I would mix the bondo then apply a little to the area. Then I would want to apply more but it would already have hardened.
