Don\'t really know where to post this
Scott,great forum.I suppose I should intro myself.I've been in the paint/body buisness in FLA for 20 years.I learned to paint toward the end of lacquer and the beginning of basecoat like DBU and Miracryl(remember RM?excelent lacquer).About 5 years ago I started at Desoto Ford and went to body since combo work was out.If a painter goes on vacation I help out if the other painter can't handle it,and I paint bikes on the side.I've played with Amerflint,most of Dupont's line,a little Squirley Williams and RM,Glasurit(nice stuff then)and PPG (or Ditzler).I always come back to PPG and that's what I've used for most of the last 8 years.I worked for a paint store for a year or so in the early years and picked up alot of stuff.I've never been to paint school,but I'm still working on the boss.I don't think much of it,bit if A.S.E. certifications count (that stands for Another Stupid Example doesn't it?),I've been a master paint/body tech since I was made to take the test about 8 years ago and in '98 I won the Ford/ASE national award.The free trip to Vegas and the $ was cool,it turned into my vacation that year.Anyway,I have been away from the daily paint grind for a while,so if I say something that's wrong or outdated,please correct me.I don't like to give bad advice,and will never do so knowingly.Scott,you know a Frank with a gun forum over there in Tampa?I got talked into moderating part of his forum,so I'm off to there for now.Take care all.Sorry for posting here,I didn't see a general discussion forum.
