I have ran the F.S.I. and it worked quite well, I also modified a dist., from a 1980 Honda 1.9 Liter, both worked well.

Thanks all. I realize there is usually some parts suppliers who sell "Junk" and there are the better parts available, appreciate the input .

Who makes the best Radiator stone guard for my 30 coupe, is the speedway guards any good ? who carries a bug screen for the radiator core? Thanks.

Thanks Brent, I may go ahead and buy a good gun and after I don't need it anymore I will sell it so someone else can get a good deal and have a good paint job too.

I have some sets of 24205, the horseshoe looking type.

Also I am wondering about a good paint gun, after 40 years of not painting anything, I used an H.V.L.P gun which I bought at S.E.M.A years back and to my surprise it worked pretty well for what I was painting , it seemed a little slow to me for painting a whole car , (may just be the operator)...

If you cannot post a pic, look on line and see what the part number is and I can refer to it,I have a few mallory sets on hand , you can private message to me and I will see what I have to help you .

I agree, we used the aircraft stripper back 40 years ago ,I bought some in the spray cans and found the same results as you stated, I am thinking about using a vacuum blaster to remove some of the paint , I used to rent hem back in the early 80s from safety kleen to etch numbers in parts of my...

Thanks , I have gained a lot, AS I said it has ben a while , when I shot the panel on my Lexus It was the first time I ever used a H.V.L.P, Back when I only used a cup gun, so It was like starting over for me.I agree about too many coats may be a problem in the making .Thanks again.

I still have flaking paint as I said iy don't have any primer under it and have not done any prep yet, this is the reason for the inquiry ,I don't want to start off wrong to begin with , I was thinking the flex seal too, But if you think it is a problem , I may pass and use regular under coating...

Posted twice , sorry.

I didn't know to use water to sand primer, I am thinking epoxy, so use a surfacer over the epoxy ? is it a good practice to spray the under side fenders as well with the epoxy, I was concerned about it flaking from gravel etc. Thanks for the help.

What is the best surface prep and primer paint for my 30 coupe ? I am planning to do the body and paint , the way it is now the paint is curling up and flaking off, I agree this will happen due to no primer been used , about every model A I have seen the paint flakes off after a few years , what...
