Cars have acrylic based paints. even if there is whats the big deal? do you plan on licking or eating your XJ?

cerveza_king

There is no lead but TONS of other bad things that you don't want in your system.

I do body work and am around fresh paint and paint dust all day. Any time you do any grinding or sanding you really should wear a respirator.

What prompted this question?

Steveo

short answer, no.

Southern96xj

No, because our XJ's weren't painted in China.

I hope not! I sanded down my '92 before paintin' it! w00t





Here is the last pic I have before I reinstalled the flares.


Yup, the paint is Valspar Industrial OSHA Yellow. Rolled on. 18 coats. Wet sanded between coats. Very shiny now. And only $30 for paint!

hey i saw your write up one time do you have the link to it around?

Man>Bear>Pig

You "rolled it" on? I have never heard of painting a auto that way before. Do you have any close-up pics to share? Is the finish smooth or rippled?

huntingman2706217

Hes got a write up on it... when he gets back on here im sure he will post it since i asked him to... then you can see it too

Schmoozer

Yeah it looks really good, I think he just used a regular old paint roller too. If I recall correctly the little air bubbles pop and it drys very evenly, you just have to wet sand between every coat and you need a lot of coats. In some of the early pics it looks green because you can still the original paint through it.

yeah lots of thinning and he mentioned the type of roller but i cant rememeber. not sure if its a normal roller or a higher dollar one... we will see...
