I'm looking over your shoulder.I'm repiaring rock dings and such in a white urithane paint on an older fiberglass car. Local body supply store said the little can I have is old stuff. Can says GlasUrit 21 Glassodur Urethane Acrylic . Written by hand 88 Mazda 140 Crystal White (21M60). The #21 was the indicater saying they thought this brand was up to# 24 latley.
I had two places where something came from under or back side and caused a problem.One is over the left front wheel. It looks like a spider with five 1 inch leggs from a central spot. I tried to touch up and sand out but everything came through.Now, I sanded out the leggs and center with a sanding pencil from "Griot's Garage", Then refill with paint. I'll wait till Monday or Tuesday to wet sand with 1000 and foam hand sanding block. Once I get the paint built back up. I'm armed with a new Porter-Cable ramdom orbital electric buffer and a new Chicago Pneumatic 720IP 3" polisher. I get tired easier latley.
I have the usual dings on the lower front of the rear fender flares. The front of the car near the turn signals. I have the Invince-a-sheild spats rolled out flat in a container , still waiting for informative vidio that was supposed to come with to explain how I can get the material to stretch to form to curve in two directions.All the stuff it takes to work on and and maintain these cars almost requires a small wharehouse.I tried to store overhead in garage attic.Car is dead in garage and you can't get to the stairway. I plan on a shed this summer.
