Paint Help....

(0 reviews)

I have a 1976 Datsun 280Z. I have several paint questions.. Ok, I recently sanded the car down and going to do some minor dent repairs, and then spray primer on the whole car, and then paint it. OK my question is whats the best primer out there for our cars?? Epoxy,Lacquer, Polyester, Urethane Primers ect???? Next, How many gallons will the car take??? What type of paint should I buy?

here's two youtube vids i made in the past:

Thanks Bro's Laters:beer:

That's exactly what the problem was on my car. I had a puzzling oil leak, seep, about a tablespoon every 30 miles or so. Small spot under my car after sitting. I knew the leak originated near the fuel pump, but was fearing the worst, head gasket. This was one of the last of 25 pages of doing a search for "oil leak" that I read. Decided to go check those bolts, YES! I had loosened the bolt to adjust the alternator but forgot to tighten it. The others in the sane vicinity were a bit loose also. Took it for a drive, no more leak.

Cowl leaf screen

Guest Mike Piazza · April 25, 20251 yr

I didn't want to deal with silicon goop of any kind but my plan is to cut screen pieces slightly larger than the holes they are supposed to cover on the inside of the cowl and epoxy those small super strong magnets to strategic areas of the screen where they would fit flat against the underside of the cowl. More than strong enough to hold the screens in place and easily removable to get rid of stubborn leaf debris that might get stuck between the screen edges and the underside of the cowl.

@EuroDat I know you made this blog awhile ago. But I am going through them and find this to be an interesting addition. Do you happen to have any photos you can add to this entry so we can keep it going?
