answers back

[lilacgirl4]

Hey there gentlemen! How quickly do people get an answer back generally? Thanks!

 

[DenB.]

fairly quick

 

[lilacgirl4]

Hey! You know what would be cool, if there isn't already one, a chat room for this site, jus

t to talk to those who are on right now!

 

[bs]

so, is lilacgirl out there?

 

[DenB.]

IT'S LIKE NIGHT AND DAY

 

[lilacgirl4]

Den B.
How do the members get all the different ratings? I noticed that there are different descriptions under the members. How do they get changed?

And what do you mean night and day?

 

[rex]

There isn't a chat room because this is actually part of Scott's buisness site so that could lead to cutting his own throat.There has been many personal conversations so bail right in there,you just have to abide by the rules of no e-mails and competitive sites.

 

[DenB.]

I was looking at the times between you and BS

 

[DenB.]

Rex would be better at answering this than me but, i'll try.after you've been surfing the board i.e. answering posts and such. other members will rate you depending on your amount and quality of help. It's like a bit of a pat on the back from fellow painters and those that are up and coming we're all here as sounding boards for each others questions so... keep on askin' an' answerin'

 

[lilacgirl4]

Hey BS,
What's up?

 

[rex]

Den summed that up quite well,sorry I didn't mention it earlier.I have to admit that I'm horrible about rating people,but I see it more for you guys than myself or the other leaders.I promise to try to remember it though because quite a few of you are pretty damn sharp or are learning fast and deserve recognition.Most of the time I completely forget it exists and alot of time by the time I have gone through the site helping out and fixing no-nos I'm pretty burned out.There are times I'm here for hours on end.I have to commend you guys,you're doing a great job and it's getting rare I have to delete anything.Here's one for ya

Oh,I have to thank you guys for putting up with me.I'm sure some of the older members can attest to some of my odd posts and ramblings.I'm usually sucking on a cold one and I've been quite ripped at times on some of these posts,as you've experienced.Thanx and here's another

Hell,have a few more

 

[DenB.]

REX!!!!! YOU DA MAN WO WO WO

 

[lilacgirl4]

nevermind, I figured it out Den

 

[rex]

I just never took the time to add one.Don't worry about asking questions,that's what this place is for.A welding babe eh?I'm getting goosebumps

 

[rex]

The better half always says I'm a dog and I was named after one so here goes nothing.

 

[DenB.]

WOOF WOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOSE BUMPS AND MOISTURE HMMMMMMM!!

 

[TWISTED]

Speaking of how to get ratings, what is this 5 star thing by my avatar? Is that a good thing?
By the way, some of us more experienced guys can still learn by the newbies asking a question. I was born with nitrocelulose laquer running through my veins (I later had it switched to urethane) And got to spraying at about age 12 or 13. I still learn something new from reading the posts here. I am one of the only painters my age that I know who remember a lot of the old tricks (smoking, webbing, etc.). I remember an old Monte Carlo I helped my dad paint with crushed glass mixed in instead of flake.

to the moderaters and an extra

to scott for a kicka$$ site and allowing us to use this board.

I'm really not sure what the 5 star box means,you'd have to ask Scott since I've only seen a few of them.You've been doing this longer than me by the sounds of it,all that cool stuff was fading out and the bc urethanes were starting to get popular when I started.'82 I think and I started out with lacquer,Supermax,the original formulation of Amerflint and the first generation of Deltron singlestage.I miss American Lacquer's (Amerflint) black lacquer,it was the blackest made.I worked a few years for the grandsons who took over the American Lacquer company.Their grandfather started the company in the back of a stationwagon and drove to the shops in the area and mixed the paint for them.The Amerflint was described to me as a lacquer based urethane,cool stuff.It sprayed like lacquer and laid down like glass with an awesome gloss,it almost looked fake it was so intense of a gloss.Sometime in the mid 80s they changed the chemical makeup of it and screwed it up.The stuff was unbelievably flexible though.Their test sample for demos was a piece of aluminum foil shot with their wash primer and painted over.You could wrinkle this stuff up like crazy and finally after repeated crumplings would it finally crack.This stuff was the only thing I'd paint a Vette with if they didn't want lacquer.I'll quit rambling,later man.

Thanx Den,but I was adding more in an edit as you read that so you missed a few more brewskies

ISN'T THAT WHAT ONE NECROFILIAC SAID TO THE OTHER WHEN PASSING THE MORTUARY "LETS GO IN FOR A COLD ONE"
