    Fiberglass parts sprayed with Glasurit 1006-26 sprayable body filler (polyester primer). It has a high filling capacity and ability to spray heavy thick coats to fill pin holes and level fiberglass panels. I really like it for repairing Gel coat on fiberglass. We used a Sata 100 B F poly gun with a 2.1 tip.

    Hi, my name is Watson.

    I work for the EPA and have an office here in Long Island.
    Wondering if I might stop by with my air quality meter, pail and sample collection tools.

    Let me know if you will be around in about an hour.
    If not, I'll let myself in.

    :)

    Haha they stop in at random along with the DEC, Fire marshal, Code enforcement, DMV, and OSHA. Having a body shop is like having a target on your head.

    Aluminum panels prepped for primer using Glasurit 360-4 metal cleaner. Its a solvent that removes contamination from bare metal surfaces prior to primer. We followed with BASF 2000 advanced prep wipes, its a prep wipe for aluminum that applies a phosphate coating to enhance adhesion and corrosion resistance.

    Do you put it in primer before welding the buttresses or did you skip that in the photos?

    Thanks for the pics! Looks great.

    No we try to seal the metal as fast as possible. We will go back after the engine is removed to weld the 1/4 panels and remove the radiators ducts, hardware, etc then spot prime the repair areas.
