That's true on the dp. Actually all paint related products.

If you mix the DP90 as a sealer and let it set up slower you can avoid the clear coat - and save a few bucks! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Problem with exposed dp is that over time uv rays kill it. I have a rat rod guy here in town now and that's what they do on occasion. I get people asking me why his stuff looks so bad, and I tell em, it's supposed to.

I think there is a Farmall M grille over there that could be made to fit this Camaro.

Yes, you are correct - forgot about the sunlight issue, bummer! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Back to the DMC902!

Actually, we went for a lower cost alternative. We dp 90'd the car and clear coated it. (big smile) </div></div>

You guys sure know how to lay on that DP90...it looks nice. Oh could you maybe do a Farmall H grill instead of an M...my dad likes the H better.

Just busted into the last Dog 30pk. If you think the picture Fred posted looks good off the gun.... wait for the polished version. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]

Not to change the subject (OK, it actually IS to change the subject) ... have any of you shot lacquer over the newer DP90LF?

Also, I have read conflicting info on using it as a sealer. Some say to thin it beyond the normal recommendation and it works fine as a final sealer before topcoat either unsanded, or wait a week, wet sand and then shoot topcoat.

Don't know how you paint guys keep up with all this.

Thanks for any help.
