Hello all out there in Packard land, still haven't figured out what is going on in the powdwecoating area. But after talking with several folks including powdercoating experts, I have come to the conclusion I need to get out of the present state of confusion and get to work. The latest problem came after talking with the paint folks at Sherwin williams, since my chassis was painted a long time ago, with that product, I contacted them only to be told that Acrlyd is no longer supplied.
Another issue I found out after using it and experimenting with their flattening agent and coming close to the desired gloss. ia that a coat with hardner cannot be applied over a non hardner induced coat has been applied. I don't know the validity of that statement. Can anybody verify that???? Also does anybody know the compatability of their new product Dimension, over Acrylyd ??
Am getting ready to order items from Fred at Max Merritt, however the will not be at the upcoming Frederick show. Oh well there is always Hershey. I did order new door sills for the car from Door Sills, talked to Mary Ann, what a wonderful lady. Hope to pick them at Hershey also.
I just got my original Packard oil filter back from the shop after having in cleaned and blasted, needs a little surface prep before painting. Coming along nicely though.
Which reminds me Kev I have a copy of the accessory book for 1940. I will send to you in the future, don't know when though.
The cluth and pressure plate are boxed up and ready to send out as soon as I decide where to send it, any recomendations.
Since it is Easter I am getting ready to visit my grandkids and have dinner. Happy holidays to all.
