[TR] Soda blast

[FRED E THOMAS]

Due to the economics involved the correct way to paint a car is rather tough 
to get in todays shops, the longer primer can stay on a car the harder it 
will get , and give color coats a great working partner, if you primrt one 
day and paint the next day, most of the true color sinks below the primer 
coat  and you now have approx 40% of the intended color, depth of color as 
well as color material, it was ar one time in the better shops to leave the 
primer for al least 90 days for complete curing, BTDT so many, many times. 
If you have fresh primer and then fresh color coat very good chance of both 
coats of =wrinkling== just like the skin on a grapefruit, BTDT a few times, 
aonly thing can be dobe them is strip the ebtire and start over.  "FT"
