    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

paint questions

I have a couple of questions.

1) do I need to clear coat an enamel paint?

2) if yes to above or yes you can, will it hurt to wet sand it with a very fine grit

3)Will it hurt / should I, wet sand flat black paint and use no clear (to keep it flat)
 
Its just rattle cans. Going the super cheap route and tired of looking at the rust blistering through the tank.

I was going to wet sand just to get everything smooth. I will probably clear it over the flat anyways.

I should wetsand, then clear, then wetsand again. Right?

I think rattle can enamel will clog up the sand paper.
you could try it on someplace like the underside of the tank.
 
It shouldn't clog it up if you're wet sanding. Also, as I said before, if you are using metal flake paint, don't wet sand that. Only wet sand the clear. Reason is, you can sand into the metal flake and have spots where all you see is shiny glittery stuff. Ask me how I know...:o
