well, the evercoat is a lot lighter to work with. but honestly, i would say its pretty much how you apply it and the tools you have to work with. they will both hold up as long as the surface your working on is preped correctly. as for the 3m stuff, i like it, it fills the small holes, but also sandable primer also works for smaller holes. this is just from my own experience... just try and try again. after a while you get the idea i guess.

so yeah, finally going to have full weekends. just got my evaluation and raise stuff at mazda. leaving toyota next saturday, so more time to work on the car, and more time to have a life, lol.
tested the paint i got for the engine bay, only sprayed the firewall back half for now, still gotta fab, cut a weld a new radiator support, going to try do this next weekend. but heres a few pics of the gloss black, i think it looks decent... its only for the engine bay. you guys think i should spray a coat of gloss black over the undercoating in the fender wells? |

I've recommended it before (maybe in this thread, I don't remember) but the big blue cans of "Truck Bed Liner" spray paint work wonders... I sprayed my engine bay and wheel wells with it, it looks very very clean, and the texture hides a lot of imperfections. Great for wheel wells, but since you cleaned your engine bay so well, that gloss black would looks slick.

so yeah, yesterday was my last day working on saturdays, sure feels great knowing im gona have full weekends from now on. more time to spend with my girlfriend and work on the car, lol. but yeah, got to use the welder, works great... some parts were a little sketchy though, gotta practice more and the wind didnt help either. fabbed up some brackets for the lower radiator support. and of course finished painting the engine bay, im pretty stoked about how it came out
damn rusted out radiator support area, couldnt get the last two bolts for the tension rod brackets off, had to do some cutting fabbing up the new support bar finally paint new set up |

Not bad at all.
I currently have a shell sitting in my driveway and plan on doing the exact same thing. Full tear down/rebuild. I've already completed the body(came with no front end), got a full wiring harness, spare KA that's going to be rebuilt, and picked up more paint materials. Keep up the good work! |
