Paint codes and primers - Jay Darst - 03-17-2006 16:50 Took the Bird to the local Truck wash for a bath. High pressure blew some paint off in a few small places. I can see what appears to be galvanized steel where the paint is missing. How do I acquire the right color paint? What preperation and/or primer (to be applied over the galvanized metal) should go on first? Anybody else had any experience with touching up their paint? Thanks Jay Darst 85PT40 Springfield, IL Paint codes and primers - Stephen - 03-17-2006 19:30 I just took off my Generator Door off to be rebuilt. So while it was off- It has the 2 primary colors in it. My local automotive paint shop in Tampa was able to can the paint from the door, and mix me up some Urethane colors to match the original perfectly, so I can spray touch up a few places as you spoke about. I believe the colors were derived from 80's Chrysler Colors, mixed with some others.Copper Metallic, and Creme Stephen 81 FC-33SB Plant City, Fl _____ From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jay Darst Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 11:50 PM To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Paint codes and primers Took the Bird to the local Truck wash for a bath.

I picked Imron, and then (after talking to the company rep for a long time) I used the manufacturer's recommended surface prep and primer/sealer/fillers so that everything would be compatible. The paint turned out great, but I did 22 days of prep and stripping and 2-3 days of painting. Makes the paint jobs in Mexico real attractive! I had about $1600.00 in material in 1979. But, I would do it again if I had a paint booth! Good luck. Bob & Judy Johannesen 1991 WLWB 40 "Seldom Blue" Argyle, Texas Jay Darst wrote: Took the Bird to the local Truck wash for a bath.

Stephen Birtles sent me a mail that indicates using Corlar Acid Etch as the material to apply over the galvanized metal. Then an epoxy primer then the paint. After researching these products on Dupont's website, looks like this will be the process, including the Imron. So again, appreciate your input!

It is mandatory that you use a clean air supplied air mask and clothing that protects your skin also.

Do you remember how much pain it took and how much prep before the primer? Jim & Barb King Wanderlodge wannabees Heyburn, Idaho [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Paint codes and primers - George Lowry - 03-19-2006 11:24 Jim, Back in those days, Imron was the best you could buy. Unfortunately, the environmentalists have raised such a ruckus that Imron is no longer the paint it once was, nor is it the best available. You can still buy the goo Imron outside of the US but not in the US. The newer base coat/clear coat have surpassed Imron in quality in the US.... One of these is the R-M Dinamint which is used on top line vehicles such as Cadillac, BMW, etc. George Lowry '06 Alpine Apex - Formerly '95 WBDA 4203 Spearfish, SD - Floating at FMCA in Pomona...

The new stuff is so forgiving and easy to repair. I had an 18 wheeler hit the rear of my enclosed trailer and pushed the rear door frame about 6 inches forward on one side. I just replaced the panel and straightened out the aluminum frame, and used the D-M paint and it matched the Bird perfectly. But the long hours of prep are still required.
