Paint question.

[1990_LX]

I want to start priming some stuff so I can take it out on the road once the winter breaks. Since I don't have a booth and I don't want it to re-rust(many spots are bare metal)...could I just rattle can the primer for now? Would it hold up in the summer until I prime it right? Once summer hits, then I'm going to shoot some primer with a gun, but I can't now. Any ideas/input? I'm not really sure where to put this...we need a paint section on here. Oh Mike...

I not an expert on this but i dont see why it wouldnt hold until the summer time.

It's not going to be driven, or even outside until the snow is gone. Would it hold up in some rain if it;s sitting outside in the warmer weather?

I think it would hold up because all you really want to do is to get a barrier to prevent it from oxidizing. It seems logical but I'm no paint expert either lol.

Plus the bumpers, fenders, and doors are off, so it would all be covered. I just don't want to buy all this spray paint and waste it. lol

from what Ive been told primer will hold moisture and will hold it against your metal and cause rust. There is a sealer I think that is like a primer ... you should use that ... is there a body supply plaec up there ?? if not do you know where Schenectady Autobody is?? they are GREAT there and will help you with this ??

[ColdCougar]

yeah man thats the one

 

[1990_LX]

Got it, I'll get a hold of them and ask them. Thanks CC.

Another question...can you get the door tags reprinted through Ford?

 

[ford20]

You mean the tags with the VIN number on them?

 

[1990_LX]

Yeah, with the vin, date of build, paint code, ect.

 

[ford20]

I know Marti Works sells reproduction ones I think up to 1993, so you can go there and ask around. I will keep looking to see If I can find any.

 

[1990_LX]

Well that would work. I'll have to keep looking around. Thanks for the lead man.

 

[1990_LX]

According to their website, they only do up to 1989.

 

[ford20]

my fault, I thought they did all fox bodies. Its so hard to find some reproduction ones or even NOS or OEM lol

 

[ColdCougar]

try calling a dealer ??? they might know

 

[1990_LX]

I suppose, although why I'm worrying about it when it's in pieces is beyond me.

 

[ColdCougar]

you might could try asking one of the restoration shops also ... maybe the one up by you where Dawns Stang is/was
