The reason the nct was yellow is it was probably close to 15 years old, I guess that was to be expected. I don't know what the voc laws are here, but I don't think they are as bad as a lot of other places.
For a cheaper clear I like the Marhyde. Has something too it. Used Nason a few times and that stuff is like water. The standard activator kicks it so fast that even doing small pieces it is hard not to get dry areas. Haven't tried the slower activator in it yet, but since I now see a paint store in town carries marhyde again, I'll probably go back to using that for a cheaper clear. The nason lays down nice and flat, but I don't like how watery and thin it is. Haven't been to any ppg schools, just got the opportunity to use a bunch of different brands in tech school, and used ppg deltron a lot until prices went so high, even though the shops I worked at used Dupont. Was going to go back to school for frame pulling till unemployment told me I wouldn't get benefits if I did. Haven't had any luck getting into any shops around here, and am thinking of doing something else for a living. The bodyshops all pay poorly for the work you do. Found out pay was a little better if you get into a big company in the paint department, then working in a bodyshop, and the work is better.
Other less hazardous, dirty, and demanding trades are paying just as much as the shops will give. May just keep auto body a hobby, right now I am applying at a bunch of places hoping to find a job. Quit my last job half a year ago now, and only been called for one interview. Was on unemployment before that and haven't found a good place to work since I was layed off from a boat builder. Kinda sucks when you don't have a steady paycheck.
Yeah the government has to mess with everything, pretty soon won't be able to paint cars anymore, or will be all waterbased, yuck. Epoxy primer is no where near as good as it once was.Last edited by kenseth17; 06-12-2004 at 11:46 AM.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
