i'm at an impass

[topher5150]

i've was talking to the body guy today about doing some touch up work/ rust repair. he got under the car and noticed a rust hole on the bottom of the rocker panel about two inches long. i pulled out a nice pile of rust. is there a way to replace the rocker panels and do any repairs to the quarter panels(if needed)
also is there a paint that is similar to the ford pearl tri-coat white for cheaper

Rust repair in those areas is very straight forward from the metal stand point...

Tri coat paint is big $$... sorry.

Duct tape and Bubble gum.

Sorry, just postwhoring.

 

[topher5150]

is there any "lesser equivalent" to tri coat

 

[Frogman]

Bi coat...?

what, the idea or cost of three seperate paint jobs isn't appealing to you?
that is what the tri coat is.

base coat
color coat
pearl coat

$$$$$ bummer$$$$$$

It not that big of a deal. And its really not that much more $ either. Tri-coats (also candys, not necessairly always pearls) are done daily at a decent body shop, and if you have a tri-coat paint job then you really have no other way to do it, unless you want it to look like crap. My car is a factory tri-coat, and painting the cowl hood wasnt that big of an issue. I didnt even blend the fenders and the color match is fantastic.

 

[kustomizingkid]

Your hood looks dead nuts on.... I should drive down and have you do my touch up....

 

[k9t8m]

You cant afford me, your broke remember?

 

[kustomizingkid]

Ohhh ya... :q:q:q:q that sucks.... aren't you broke too

 

[pepperman]

This convo is getting weird.

tri- coat's a little out of style, looked classy for the late '90's, but it's gone. Plus the maintenance sucks, because if your paint's more than 2 years old and you actually drive the car, get a door ding, and want it fixed, you better paint the whole car or it won't match. I say go with a new color, or just white.

 

[topher5150]

i wonder how a black collectors edition would look

 

[k9t8m]

I saw we paint Brandons. His needs painted anyhow. Whadya say brandon? Only black CE?

 

[topher5150]

Hey now don't be taking my idea

 

[kustomizingkid]

I just got into this with some Rauder boys.... they seem to think changing the color of a collector car is terrible... lol

I'd do it if I had the money to do it RIGHT....

 

[98CobraStarLSC]

what colors are tri coat?

is my Torr. Red? :shifty:

 

[topher5150]

Do they have replacement rocker panels, would T-bird/cougar work, or do I just cut and weld a new section?

 

[kustomizingkid]

Nobody makes a patch panel... gotta fab up your own...
