im wondering where ML is at with this project.

 

The paint just arrived by UPS ground the other day...I wanna say the 21st. So now it's in my garage but I'm in Wisconsin so I won't get to work it out for a few more days.

I'm excited though. I gotta go to Home Depot and pick up a new Dremel head and some sandpaper.

 

So I hunted around for the Dupli-color silver frost metallic paint in brush-on form - looks like Dupli-color only does spray in this color code. So I did a little detective work and turns out that's a Nissan color - was on the 1990 model pulsars and some trucks. So you can go to paintscratch.com or your other favorite touch-up paint vendor and put in 1990 Nissan Pulsar and pick paint code 549 Silver Frost Metallic CC and voila...

So I ordered a 1oz bottle from paintscratch.com - I'll post after I try it if it's a good match...

ML - did you ever get your wheel repair done?

 

No, I still have not. I had some decent weather days last week but my mother was here the entire time. I actually want to sell these wheels, and I know they probably won't go til the spring anyway, so I think for now I am waiting until the spring or a nice break in the weather.

 

If you want to brush the spray on, just spray it into a jar, and use a brush from there.

 

Duh.... you're either a genius, or have the mind of a 5 year old, to think of that.... I AM a genius... and I DIDN'T think of that...

 

Hahah I had to do that to mix up a custom Duplicolor for my brake calipers--works great. Use a baby food jar and it'll keep for a long time. =)

Last time I was in Mexico I saw a lot of youths doing this trick into a paper bag - very sad.

 

lol. Were they inhaling or just trying to paint???
