Need an opinion

[timvasqz]

The biggest complaint I see with work from Mexico is the prep. Primer is not a
cover all. and preprimer sealers are not bare metal prep. Paint tends to fall
off in several years when surface prep has errors or steps are missed. best bet
is to pick up the product south of the border and have a local US shop do the
work. I would think you could set it up prior to your trip with a shopping list
written by your US painter. Paints of today are designed as systems. the lab
testing guarantees proper cover and adhesion. A good paint supplier in TJ is
Merlin's

Color schemes that blend require different mixes and spray patterns. I dont
think you can get good blending with HVLP systems and or hard finish single
stage imron paints. close up it will looks speckled????

Conservative populated areas I find not to be closeminded. Areas with lack of
intellect should be avoided by even a church bus.
