    Tape, the scuff carefully avoiding touching the tape, but get as close as you can. Once painted, then carefully color sand the entire car.

    My family just bought a new Home

    Well, we've lived in the same home for about 24 years now. So we made the leap into a newer, bigger home : it's 2,418 square feet and we're going to pay about $200k on a 55' x 125' lot that backs up to a nice green belt and great views of all the surrounding mountains. BTW it has an...

    Sell the 65 or the 72?

    Well.... kinda, but it does deal directly with mustangs that have been the basis for many many tech articles. Plus I'm looking for creative input, not necessarily hijackings.

    Sell the 65 or the 72?

    I hate to do this, but my family and i just bought a new house (se future thread in the talk section). The bad part is that the HOA doesn't allow perminant parking (like too many overnighters) on the street. Right now our family has 6 cars (3 mustangs are mine). The other thing is that the...

    Primering my car?

    Then I'd suggest you get the primer etcher/sealer combo (that works with you're paint system). Then spray oen coat (not thick wet coats), then the sencond coat slightly thicker until the car is uniformly covered. Then take a contrasting spray paint color and lightly mist a 'guide coat'. Start...

    Primering my car?

    Ok, there are four major types of primer out there (then for 3 of them low build, medium build, or high build variations): 1) Spray Can Primer- Should not be used except to protect a surface in high humidity for a day or two at the max. 2) Primer Etcher- This is sprayed on clean bare metal...

    Restoring faded paint. Any suggestions appreciated

    I've actually had a good experiance with restoring faded and oxidized paint with NuFinish (it also does a great job on polishing up faded/yellowed lenses). Another thing is to use the three step meguire's system, i.e. #9,#26, then the yellow carnuba wax does a great job with a rotary buffer and...

    Let's see your daily drivers

    It's actually Krylon Navy Blue Spray Paint. It's just 2 coats and no clear, wax, or coloranding/polishing on it at all. It's lasted about 2.5 years so far and cost me a grand total of $50. I used the spray paint due to the fact that i didn't have a lot of money at the time, and i didn't want 5...
