Quoted from vid1900:Touch up the black, and fill with a drop of 2pac.
You did pretty good with the orange
Thanks vid. What is 2Pac? I Googled it and all I get is the rapper
Quoted from pinballinreno:2 part automotive clear
Thanks. Is it something that I can buy at a parts store? Is it 2 applications?
Great! Much thanks for the info!
Quoted from pinballinreno:You get it at the automotive paint store.
Its an epoxy paint that is in 2 parts, coating and hardener. You have to mix the parts together and the paint will cure or dry fairly rapidly.
Some times you can get a small amount from a body shop if you bring a couple small jars and mix it 1 part hardener to 4 or 5 parts paint before you apply it with an eye dropper in your case.
Quoted from Lonzo:Please learn about the stuff first. Can be very dangerous if precautions are not taken. Awesome stuff, just need to be careful.
Is there a place to read up on this more? I assume that fumes can be dangerous.
Thanks guys. This is a great thread. I'm still trying to make it to my local body shop to see if I can get a small amount of the 2 part clear coat for the other issue. Do you know of anywhere to buy a 2 part clear touch up kit?
Any thoughts on this product? The can is only good for one use. The hardener gets injected into the can when ready to use.
USC Spray Max 2k High Gloss Clearcoat Aerosol https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043B7UQY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ekkcBbT1BGV1R
I would use it to repair the chip on post 5753. My plan would be to spray some into a cup and then use an eye dropper to fill the chip.
Quoted from ckcsm:A 2K clear is definitely a better choice as it mixed with a chemical hardner to more durable; the only question would be what are you using it on? The spray head on an aerosal limits the spray pattern which would make it tought to spray larger surfaces.
There is a pot life once it's catalized, you can increase the pot life my putting the container in a refrigerator - much lower temp.
The only other advise is to make sure you order the charcoal respirator with it as you don't want to breath the vapors form this.
Quoted from La_Porta:I can vouch for it: that’s what I used in my Firepower restore. Worked beautifully just as advertised. I’d recommend buying a six-pack, that’s about how many cans you will need.
I saw the results that a friend had on an entire playfield and it came out great. He also said that it took 5 to 6 cans.
