Forum: Kevin Tetz's Corner

I have a 1969 mustang vert, that I have metal work, and filler work nearly completed and I am getting ready to paint. I have already purchased eastwood epoxy primer, evercoat G2 poly primer, and eastwoods single stage paint and clear coat. My plan is to first cover everything in with 2 or 3 coats...

Just painted my camaro Eastwoods sgl stg urethane " Boulevard Black" The color is great. The orange peel and assorted junk in the paint isn't. I can sand out the junk, but not enough to remove all the orange peel. Can I sand lightly and clear? I used the East wood "starting line" guns. Many...

Kevin I hope you can give me a definative answer on whether you can use body filler over well cured epoxy primer.. My car was stripped down to bare metal and primed with a direct to metal epoxy primer following the manufacturer directions. This was done a few months ago and the primer is well...

Kevin, A few months back, I watched you use what appeard to be a mounted erase-like tool in a power drill to remove the remaining adhesive after taking a piece of decorative molding from the Silverado you were repairing. I've checked a number of websites and have been unable to find the tool...

I welded in a 3 inch tall by 25 inch wide oiece of 20 guage metal at the bottom of my door. It is obvious now that the original metal must have had a slight roll off in it toward the nottom of the door. I welded a flat piece in and have a crown at the weld. It appears to be about a 1/4" higher...

Had a guy paint my car. I'd bought the single stage chop top silver but the guy wasn't comfortable with shooting the urethane enamel and had some R-M silver laquer that he said he'd shoot instead. I agreed and the car was shot with the lacquer and then topped with PPG lacquer clear. Without getting...

The ashtray door and glove box door for my car were scratched so I've decided to paint them. I experimented with the ashtray door first. (It's smaller and easier to "fix" if I've screwed up!) :eek: Not having a spray gun I used rattle can paint. I used a red scuff pad to smooth out the scratches...

I am new to the Eastwood Forum and using Eastwood products. I am doing a ground up restoration of a 1951 Ford F1 pickup. I think I may have screwed up already in that I sand blasted the chassis, used self etching primer (I use PPG products on my projects) followed by the Eastwood 2K Ceramic...

Can I convert the rust out before I weld in the patch panels? Should I grind it out and hit it with a weld thru primer? I just am not sure what the best way to avoid toxic fumes. I am doing floor and quarter panels on a early Mustang and was thinking of the biggest pieces possible to use. Can you...

Kevin, First, thanks for the great job with your DVD's. I'm starting a repaint on a 69 Ford F100, and I need to replace a lower door skin. I am not sure if I need to clamp the skin on and tack weld the joint then crimp the skin and finish weld; or tack, finish weld, and then crimp. Your expertise...

I have a single stage acrylic urethane finish (Chroma One) with mild orange peel and trash. It is fully cured (9 months old). Can this be color sanded and buffed as in the Paint-U-Cation DVD or should it be sanded, clear coated, buffed? The DVD was very well done. Thanks

I am a fan of the Power Block series as well as all the other car shows. Something is puzzling to me. What are you doing for corrsion protection? Many people watch and gain good information, but little is being done or shown for corrosion protection. I started in 1965 in the body shop and taught it...
