Tom Daniel's RAD RATZ 1:43 Diecast Old Skool Rat Rod - Tijuana Taxi List Price: $14.99 Sale Price: $8.98  |
|
Flat Black primer paint and BIG White wall tires personify the "Old School" hot rod look that has become the rage today. (Actually, in the "old days", most hot rods were in various shades of 'primer' simply because few hot rodders had the dough to paint their 'rides'; and most of the White Wall tires were hand-painted using "varsity" brand white - or black tire paint sold at Pep Boys or Western Auto stores). Just for kicks, Toy Zone & TD decided to "customize" some of the classic 1/43 cars in the "Old School" look - and they came out looking cool and nostalgic. These will be 'limited' production runs, so get 'em while they last. |

Here are some more information for Kit Rat Rod:
Mechanical Adhesion
Primer and/or paint will not adhere to an un-sanded panel. The surface must be roughed up, which will produce a mechanical adhesion. Not properly preparing the surface will result in loss of adhesion and peeling. Most paint starts peeling from an edge, so make certain special attention to edges is taken.
No Hard Edges
Once the body filler or glaze putty is blocked sanded with 150 grit is now ready for primer. The first thing that you need to do is mask the adjacent panels and areas that you do not want to get primer to get on. This sounds simple enough, but many mistakes are made doing this. One of the common mistakes is making hard edges with the primer. This is done by masking a square around the damaged area. During the priming process, primer is sprayed against the tape edge causing a hard edge. This creates additional work trying to feather the primer edge smooth. We'll explain how to prevent that and other common mistakes in a masking article. Before we discuss masking, let's discuss prepping the panel before masking and priming.
When Painting The Entire Panel
Before you start priming and masking prepare the entire panel for paint or clear coat. First, sand several inches around the repair area with 320 grit on a DA sander. If the entire panel is going to be painted, go ahead and sand the entire panel with 500 grit on a DA sander. Make certain that when final sanding with a DA that you use the inter surface pad. Once the panel is sanded with a DA sander, use a red scuff pad to scuff the edges and all other areas that is hard to get with a DA sander. Do not rush this step, as edges are very important. If paint or primer is going to peel, it usually starts from an edge. Once you have the panel completely sanded, clean the surface with compressed air and wipe the panel with wax and grease remover. Go ahead and clean surrounding areas where tape may be applied to ensure the tape will adhere properly.
Blending Within A Panel
What if you're blending within a panel? Blending within a panel is where you are only going to paint the repair area and not the entire panel. This still requires sanding to the entire panel, as the entire panel will need to be clear coated. This used the same methods, but you must use finer grit sandpapers.
To repair a blend within a panel for primer sand past the repair area with 320 grit using a DA with an inter surface pad. Sand several inches past your repair area. Then switch to 500 grit DA using the inter surface pad and sand an additional 2-4 inches past the repair area. Now switch to 800 grit sandpaper using a DA with inter surface pad to sand the remaining panel surface. One the entire panel is sanded, use a gray, make sure it is gray, not red, scuff pad to scuff the edges and hard to reach areas of the panel. Now your ready to clean the surface as explained above. Blow with compressed air and wipe with wax and grease remover.
Eliminate Peeling
By sanding the entire panel before priming will ensure that all primer will adhere properly. If your primer sprays out a little further than you intended, you will be safe, as it has already been sanded. I have seen primer applied over un-sanded paint before. If left like this, it will cause the primer and what ever is applied over the primer (paint and clear) to peel off with it. That is something that you definitely do not want to happen.
Now that the panel is repaired and prepped, now you can get it ready to mask and prime.
