kk sweet good deal

[BP_Z28]

kk for now I just want to patch the holeup as a temp fix, untill I get the body work done so I bought some bondo,sandpaper, primer & just need some paint.

I know this wont cure it but like I said its temporary

So after sanding around it and yada yada do I just coat it over the hole and wait to dry or a section at a time? Seems like it would just go right through,

[BP_Z28]

OK

Sanded,Bondo,Sanded & sanded some more primed & painted

BUT the paint I got was Deep Jewel Green. Cap looked closest match to car. But is alot BRIGHTER, & you can clearly see the two different shades green

Anyone know where I can get Polo green from? Im just going to take off this Jewel color for now & leave it primery gray. The green looks hideous .

Point me in the right direction

any paint shop should be able to mix it for you

looked in the phone book. Sherwin Williams is 1mile away.

Would I be able to get it in a rattlecan or what? Never dealt with something like this

Go to auto zone or advance, in the paint section there is a book, look up your year, look for polo green under Chevrolet, get the code and find the can that matches. There mini spray cans about 5.5oz if I remember, one should cover what your looking to do, there what brian and I used to do our engine bays. Oh, dont forget a can of clear. Each runs about 5-6 dollars.

if yours is a factory color then

[smfcpthowdy]

I took a print out to where I got my car painted, and they said they would cut out the metal and put new metal in and paint it for $500 Canadian.

Might be worth the drive, if you can.

there is a guy from Toronto with an 87 Iroc who got quoted $8000 to get his car done, I am getting it done for him for $3500, and that includes sipping the clear that is coming off, body work and then 2 stage paint.

[BP_Z28]

I got quoted $450 from Todds bro in law. Cut,Weld,Paint

Im going to head to Autozone tomorrow to check that color code book out hopefully they have one

If Autozone doesn't have it, and if they do it probably will not match a ~10 year old car. Take the car up to an Automotive Paint Supply store and they'll mix it to look like the paint that's on there now. They can put it in a quart or a spray can, I'd give them advance notice for a spray can.

I agree with Joe - the problem with the autostore paint is that it's not taking into consideration the sunlight fading, oxidation, etc that happens to paint over the years. While the auto store paint will work in the engine bay like Spencer and I did, I don't think it'd work as good on a body panel where you can see what is old paint and what is new paint.

[sman]

Didnt know theyd put it in cans for you, thats cool if you can find a place that can. The auto paint place by us wouldnt.

[BP_Z28]

After talking about it with my Dept. Manager he recommended me to Ross Auto in Lapeer. Found my color and is on order for pick up on monday. So thank god.

Went to autozone & no spray can for Polo green, only had touch up so will be returning that now the can is on order

My bondo job sucks but oh well.. month or two the hole will be no more
