Re: Nice ZL1 Camaro restoration site

Re: Nice ZL1 Camaro restoration site
Micky and others........Do you have a way to "brighten" the DP-90 or I then used PPG Acylic Enamel Gloss black and added a flatner to retard the gloss and a hardner for durability........You professionals have the expereince......just curious if in fact you cover the DP with something else???

Re: Nice ZL1 Camaro restoration site
I havent worked with the LF that much yet, just starting to use it actually, but there are a few ways to change it by the amount of activator, different activator, retarder, pigment, etc. The only drawback to DP is the color itself, usually has a brownish hue to it straight out of the can, but it can be worked with to change that too. As a rule I dont use it for underhood stuff, mostly chassis parts and floorpans (depending on the car), how it was supposed to be, otherwise it is other blacks that we make.

Re: Nice ZL1 Camaro restoration site
I recently emailed the owner of the car and he said as soon as the car is done he'll post more pictures of it. I emailed him to find the gloss of black he used on the bottom of the car but he forwarded me to the resto shop and I haven't received a reply. Anyone out there know the proper gloss of black for the bottom of a 69 camaro?

Re: Nice ZL1 Camaro restoration site
I contacted C&V Restorations who did the ZL-1 about the color of the floor pans and he emailed me back with this reply, "We use Spies Hecker paint and the black is a high solid single stage that we put a flattening agent in, its roughly 50% semi gloss, we mix it 1 to 1 on the firewall,floor pans and sub frame. The inner fenders and heater box cover are about 30% gloss, slightly glossier then the rest of the area's that are black."

Re: Nice ZL1 Camaro restoration site
30% gloss is glossier than 50% semi gloss?

Re: Nice ZL1 Camaro restoration site
He just give out percentages opposite of most everyone is all. If you want to do it just mix some paint and match it to the degree of gloss you like to use. Everybody has there own way of doing it.
