jeffball610 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Talk to 510keeper if you haven't already about applying clear over bare metal. You need to preserve the patina without having the car eating itself alive. Link to comment
Dirttrack510 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm guessing this is prep work photos for a patina clear coat??? I'd hate to think this car is done for. Link to comment

Rustbucket Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Well, rust needs air to eat itself, so if he's clear coating it, it'll stop the air and wont eat itself.. I thought the same thing - but, since there's no real way to prep the rust for a coat of clear it adheres and reacts pretty poorly. The rusty hood on my truck is oxidizing through the two coats of clear that I laid down. Link to comment

Laecaon Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I have cleared bare metal before and it rusted under the clear. This time we used a metal prep solution to help prevent rust. The metal prep creates a zinc coating on the metal to prevent rust. Can you see the gold and blue clouds on the metal, that my friend is the zinc coating. It never comes out the same, but always looks cool. My friend brought up a point, I might get pulled over and a fix it ticket because of the glare of a big reflective car. I'm willing to take that ticket. Link to comment
DAT510 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 i heard that you can seal rust with that stuff you spray on your porch to protect it from the elements... now i can't find the forum that showed it.. damn it! Link to comment

fisch Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Waoh, how have I missed this thread? That's what happens when you take a Ratsun sabbatical I guess! Indy, this car is the tits. I've seen pics of it floating around other threads, but didn't know who's it was. I am with Hainz in that I like the panasports best and I like a bit of rake. But the patina on this thing is exceptional. I like that you are finally protecting it! Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 You must own a camera. :D When I saw this car at Canby I really liked it. But it seems the more I look at it the better it gets. Keep it up man. Must have been a different one you saw. Indy drove a Honda at Canby. Link to comment
