Re: Andalusite Blue

I would like to paint my roadster this color, I am thinking about using TCP acrylic enamel. I want this to be as dark as possible. Should I use a black sealer?

Re: Paint type

I bought some lacquer from TCP to edge the car out and was not happy with the quality (seemed very thin with not much pigment). I see Mac's has PPG lacquer for $800 a gallon, don't think I can...

Powder coating wheels

Anyone have their wheels powder coated black? Wondering if I should go with a 80% or 90% gloss. Trying to look close to factory sheen.

8ba fuel pump

I have a 8ba in a model A. The firewall is recessed for clearance, the stock glass bowl fuel pump won't clear the firewall. Did Ford make a 8ba pump with no glass bowl?
