looking, and sending the thing now.
thanks Fred.
Sorry everyone if it seems the thread died down a bit. I will put a bunch of pictures up today to compensate for that I thought that the weekend would result in a lot of work getting down, but instead it was just the opposite so far. Today is the day though to get a lot done while the girlfriend is at work.
Well here is the weekend update. As mentioned last week, i thought that i would have the car done by today...but that didn't happen. I'm kinda disappointed but oh well.
As of tonight - I got everything hooked back up and ready to go. I put new oil and filter in the car and now just need to bleed the trans and add the brake fluid and coolant.
I besides breaking two axle bolts yesterday, i ran into two more problems...one small and one kinda big
I'll start with the small one...i lost the C clip for this sensor, which held me up from bleeding the trans and re-filling. don't ask how that happened, but it did. Now i have to go to the dealership and explain to those idiots what i need but all they're going to keep asking me is for the damn part number I went there one time to try and buy the black Wolfsburg grill and the parts guy just kept telling me he needs the part number to know what i'm talking about...so i can only imagine what tomorrow's going to be like
And now the main problem...My clutch cables seem to be stuck or twisted inside or something! Here's what happened: When putting the engine back into the car, I didn't realize that the clutch cable bracket was jammed behind the engine as we were pushing it back in. This resulted in bending the bracket a little and pulling the cables out. I was able to forcefully push them back in so that they will sit on the shifter as they're supposed to, but when i move my shifter to test it I can only put it in 2nd and 4th gear. I can not push up into 1st, 3rd, 5th and barley into the neutral position Here is the pic of the cable coming out into the bay...you can see that they were pulled out and pushed the firewall down.
I'm not sure what to do to fix the cables. anyone have any suggestions?

ouch. But hey, look at the bright side, YOU HAVE IT BACK TOGETHER!!!!
I tried to search for DIY water pump and thermostat. Only found Thermostat. Anyone care to share a link?
as always, thanks a lot Fred I really do appreciate it. And the results....drive axle to transmission flange - 70nm/51.6 ft lbs...exactly what I did That's kind of scary that those bolts started snapping before torque spec. I'll probably buy new ones at the dealership today along with the other stuff. So close to being done, just need to figure out these damn clutch cables!
Those cable shifters can be pretty fiddly. Youll probably need to do some adjusting of the cables so it will work properly. I remember in my mk3 jetta over time the cables must have stretched. Because i had to adjust them so i could get the car into first gear. after the adjustment it was fine though. Also, it wasnt a lot that i had to adjust them by.
Oh yea I should probably make it more clear with my problem - It's the shifter inside the cabin that won't go into gear, even when the clutch cables are unattached to the shifter on the trans. The cables must be jammed up underneath but I don't know how to get to them. I took the shifter boot and ash tray out thinking I could see down there but I couldn't.

lift the car, remove the tunnel insulation, which is the aluminum thin on top of the exhaust...
once thats done, you will be able to see the cables from the shifter to the tranny
i do try, you know.
dude you've been such a big help to my project with taking the time to find and send me the torque specs....I really appreciate it
So...just got back from the dealership. After some time of explaining what clip i need by using a print out diagram of the transmission system...I get nothing. The clip isn't numbered in the diagram so he didn't know what i needed. Then when i finally got him to know which clip i was talking about he still couldnt get me one because he didn't know the part number . Like seriously?! I told him just go get the container of the damn clips and i'll be able to pick out which size it is, but he couldn't I have a better chance of finding my old one in my garage or garbage before I can get one from the dealership ...I need a beer lol
I found one at DBC performance, however, it is for the GTI.
BTW you guys, finally I was able to do an oil change after using castrol syntec. I am very much happy with the result. I was using Mobil 1 , but no more.
last week i did my oil change... the car now feels so much better...
lubro moly only..
Yea i use Castrol Syntec 5w-40 like the volkswagon stays to use. I always have a hard time finding it though...always see 0w-30 or 10w-40
So the progress with my car: I got everything hooked up and tried starting it only to find out that my battery is dead I have it charging right now but I have to leave for work now so I can't try starting it till later...which is around 12 because i'm only working half a day
*edit* the battery was fully charge as I was leaving for work so I tried it and it started I let it ran for about 20 seconds until I noticed the smoke coming out of where the exhaust mani bolts to the flex piping. I'm guessing that's just the oil burning off everything and happened because one of the three bolts isn't on the manifold yet.

when i started the car post tranny swapped, i got sort of scared...
since we had to drain all of the coolant, some of it got to the headers... and when we started it we saw a huge cloud of smoke... it was rather scary!
Haha oh really? That must be what's happening to mine then. I was pretty scared when I saw it too, I was like " oh sh*t, I just ruined this new motor"
I'll be back home in about an hour and a half and trying to figure out how to fix the clutch cables. It's so fustrating having the motor running but I can't drive it! Lol
goonnaa drink a ... wine for you

Nov. 12, 2012
Vols head coach Derek Dooley met with the media on Monday afternoon for his weekly press conference. Here is the transcript of his comments.
(Opening statement) "I guess the only thing I will really sum up on the Missouri game is we were sitting there with 4:43 to go in the game and our defense [to that point] had 59 plays, 295 yards, 14 points and two turnovers. At that point, that is about as good a defensive game that you can play. Then we gave up three plays there on the last drive, two on fourth down, and we really struggled in overtime to slow them down. Another tough, disappointing loss, that is four in this league where it came down really to the last possession. For both squads, all three units had a chance to impact the game and we didn't get it done so we move on to Vandy."
(On if he has second-guessed himself about not going for the win at the end of the fourth quarter) "I really don't. Everybody is making a huge deal about that. I answered it after the game and I don't feel any differently. We were struggling on offense. The last four possessions we didn't execute well, we weren't looking good and when we went out there we were going out there to win the game. That is what our philosophy was and the first play we screw up, get the ball, and then the second play we screw up the execution. I think there were about 35 seconds and we had a third and 10. I just didn't have confidence that we were going to get it and then, all of a sudden, you put the best player on their whole team out on the field to change the game and I didn't want to do that. I felt like we could beat them in overtime. We were at home and I felt like our offense, over the course of time we performed better than their offense."
(On meeting with the team) "I'm not going to talk to you guys about what I tell the team. I think when you look at all this stuff, yeah I addressed it. [The players] are getting banged up on their phone the way my kids are getting banged up on their phone and the way my wife was getting banged up on hers. Everybody was saying I was fired and I didn't even know it. I'm sitting there working on Vandy and I had already talked to Dave [Hart]. You have to come home and address all that with your family and then you have to address it in the morning with the team. I addressed it."
(On Curt Maggitt's injury) "He is out for the year with a torn ACL. That was a real blow and hurt us that last drive. He was doing a great job of copping the quarterback the whole game and that hurt us there on a couple of things toward the stretch."
(On whether he asked Dave Hart if he would be UT's coach next season) "No, I didn't ask him that but I did ask him a lot of things. We talked very frankly about it. He told me he had not made a decision if we go 6-6, despite what all the reports are. Either the sources are wrong or Dave wasn't being forthright with me and I have no reason to think Dave is not being forthright with me. He is an honest man, he has always been honest with me and I have appreciated how he has handled everything about this. I really have."
(On how the players have handled everything) "I think the irony in all this is that we beat up the young kids so bad on their behavior all the time and they are the ones handling all of this better than anybody. There is no negativity on the team, there are no mean-spirited comments, there is no gossip, so I am proud of them for doing that. We probably all ought to learn from them a little bit."
(On the hardest part about the speculation) "The hardest thing is your family. The hardest thing is when they are seeing things that are contrary to what their dad is telling them. That's where it gets a little tough, but that is part of the profession. We have to deal with it. That's how it is."
(On whether he should be the Tennessee coach) "I'm worried about Vanderbilt and I can't make that decision. I can give you compelling arguments why I should and there are plenty of compelling arguments about why I shouldn't. It's not going to be your decision, it's not going to be a bunch of these source's decisions, it is Dave [Hart] and the chancellor. It is their decision and I can't control what they think. We've had a lot of good dialogue. I think he has a good handle on how I do things in our program, where we are and why we are not getting the results we want, so you move on and live with it."
(On the defense's effectiveness) "It was very effective for three quarters, up to four minutes to go in the game. Then we didn't execute very well down the stretch. I was really pleased and I was proud of the kids, they played their tails off. They did and it is unfortunate it ended the way it ended. It really is. That's what hurts you is the way you lose it."
(On the changes made to the defense last week) "I think everything we did helped, I do. I think it helped Sal [Sunseri], he called a great game. I think it helped the other coaches, I think we did a good job on the sideline. I thought everything was positive but we just didn't finish it and that is what we have to learn how to do. We are going to keep on the same course."
(On the defensive struggles at the end of the game) "We lost a couple of guys there late, we lost LaDarrell [McNeil] and we lost Curt [Maggitt] on that scramble. We got hurt on fourth down on just the play getting extended a little bit longer than it had been earlier in the game. Then eventually our zones that we had been running the whole game, there were some openings in there. Same thing in the overtime."
(On LaDarrell McNeil's injury) "I think he is ok. He hurt his knee but it was more a bruise on a tackle than anything, but he was really struggling out there. He was playing great in that game, he really was."
(On Vanderbilt's offense) "We are playing a little different team. They play a lot of 21 and two-back pro-style, a lot of shifts and motions so it is going to be a little challenge. We have to figure out what we are going to do."
(On Vanderbilt's success) "They have done a great job. I guess it is good for the rivalry, it makes better games, but they are doing a good job. They did a good job before James [Franklin] got there, they did a really nice job recruiting and he has done a nice job of bringing some really good energy to the program. They are playing with a lot of confidence."
(On the reason for Vanderbilt's success) "I think everybody they have is a junior or senior. They are a real veteran squad. I think everyone of their starters is deep into their careers there. Generally when you see a unit that has been in the program for a while, been in the system for a while, they are going to play well."
(On Cordarrelle Patterson's celebration penalty) "I thought he had done worse stuff before. I really believe the guy was going to reach for his foot and he does a little bit of that around the arms. I don't think that was his intention. Right when he crossed the goal line he stopped, but they saw him high-stepping and it was a penalty. I'm glad we overcame it. Mych [Rivera] made a great play after that."
(On having 11 penalties) "We were really sloppy on offense. A lot of stuff up front, we didn't block them very well and we had some pre-snap penalties that we haven't had in a while. The deeper the game went, it started really showing up and affected us. We just didn't perform up front as well as we had been."
(On Vanderbilt using last game against Tennessee as motivation) "I don't know. I don't think Vanderbilt needs a lot of motivation to come and whip us. I am sure they have plenty of motivation that they don't need that. I can't take that back."
(On Missouri's big plays) "We got hurt on a long run and it was a little different from the front stand point but really we messed up in the secondary, we have been playing it, that kind of mesh against that kind of zone about seven times prior to that play and we just didn't play it great. So we got a little disoriented in space and we couldn't run them down. So that was one. Then went up tempo, they were moving pretty fast, got us on our heels a little bit on another drive. Then we settled down and played. We gave up fourteen points there and then we started stopping them again. That one run was bad and the up tempo got us a little bit. But we still played pretty consistently. We were dominating the first half, our second half it probably what we expected for four quarters. The first half exceeded anybody's expectations of how we could play. Like I said, if we could have made just one of those fourth down stops we would be sitting here just ranting and raving about how great the defense played. But that is how it is. You have to do it for sixty minutes."
(On the call of unsportsmanlike conduct on the touchdown) "It is something they really haven't called much. I think about two years ago it was really controversial and they were throwing the flags a lot. It hurt some teams so I think they backed down a little bit. If it happened real quick and then a player kind of caught himself they wouldn't call it. It was the real obvious taunting sort of thing. I think they have been officiating it very well. I was surprised at that one. Not much you can do about it other than go play the next play. I am just glad it didn't hurt us."
(On Tyler Bray's focus) "I have just seen him prepare and practice with a little more focus every day. A little more consistency. I don't think it is a significant change in what he is doing, I think it is part of his growth and process. Every quarterback goes on that journey and everybody moves at a different pace and everybody starts making some big jumps at different times in their career. He has made a big jump in the last few weeks and I hope he can keep doing that."
(On Tyler Bray's body language on the sideline) "He would go for it if it was 4th and 15 on the minus 10 and we are up 21. He just wants to go score points and that is okay. I just say, `Would you hush? Go do it on third down if you want to go for it. ' That is what I tell him. That is what I told him at the end of the game. `You had two chances and you screwed them up. Don't get mad at me.' Sometimes he isn't doing what you guys are thinking that he is doing. He is screaming because he wants to do something. It is not adversarial. The one time he punted he ball and he didn't get the signal we were going for it. Sometimes you have those miscommunications. It is not him getting upset with us. I guess we have to work on that. I didn't know that was a big issue out there. He is not showing up the coaches, but he would like to call the plays."
(On being a risky play caller) "There is always a risk. The word risk, there is a whole variance of what risky means. When you take risks there are usually calculated and we have some good reasons why we can do it and be successful. It is not just let's throw this out there and see if it works. The field goal is a great example. I like to be aggressive but I try to be somewhat sound in the decisions. I would say I am in between. Maybe I should be more aggressive or less aggressive because they obviously haven't had the results that we need."
(On Vanderbilt's offense) "They just play with a great level of consistency. They play very good disciplined football. They do an excellent of formationing you and doing it really quick and crisp. They have some very talented receivers and an excellent running back that can really hurt you. They do a great job, they really do."
(On Zac Stacy's injury) "He is one of their best players on their team. They have a good back behind him. They won the game last week without Stacy."
(On the defense) "I think it is a lot of things. Our guys were playing pretty good this week. I think that is the best game the defensive line has played. We probably gave them a little more leeway to pin their ears back and go. And not worrying about the quarterback as much breaking the pocket. A little bit of it is who you are playing, when you are playing one of those guys who can scramble really well you get a little nervous about your pass rush because if you break the integrity of the lanes now your space guy has to tackle him."
(On the game plan against Missouri) "We knew we needed some patience this game because they play a lot of zone. There were a lot of underneath holes that were going to be open. We hit Zach a few times over the middle and Mychal. Mychal played a great game he is playing at a real high level right now, especially catching the ball."
(On the fake field goal in overtime)
"Every week you go in with some fakes on all the phases depending on how they line up. It doesn't mean you are going to get them but it means you are going to have a better chance of getting it if they line up otherwise. They lined up how we thought they would line up and we ran it. I didn't think that was a risky call like you guys. We were going to kick it if they lined up differently."

I like to remind people that they are essentially on the same team. For example, both want to raise the children in the "best" way possible, but they may disagree as to what is "best" in any given situation or moment. I use particular techniques that strengthen communication. Typically, when each partner feels heard and understood, tension decreases and mutually agreeable solutions are possible.

When will MSNBC learn to stop aiding liars?
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
MSNBC has been paying much more attention to Rep. Joe Wilson -- the Republican congressman who yelled "You lie" during last night's presidential address to congress -- this morning, at the expense of actually covering health care policy. No surprise, really, but it doesn't serve their viewers well.
Even worse, MSNBC just aired comments from Wilson earlier this morning in which he reiterated his claim that President Obama isn't telling the truth about whether proposed health insurance reforms would cover those who are in the country illegally.
Wilson is wrong; Obama is right. But that wasn't made clear to MSNBC viewers. MSNBC aired Wilson speaking, without interruption, for more than two minutes. During those two minutes, Wilson claimed again and again that illegal immigrants would be covered, referring to amendments and what he claims are third-party validators of his position. MSNBC's debunking of Wilson consisted entirely of Tamron Hall saying -- a full minute after the clip of Wilson ended -- "there's also been a number of fact-checkers who said that Congressman Wilson is wrong, that there was nothing to indicate."
That's it. MSNBC played Wilson going on for two minutes about amendments and the Congressional Research Service validating his position, then "debunked" him by saying "there's also been a number of fact-checkers who said that Congressman Wilson is wrong, that there was nothing to indicate." (That's the full sentence, by the way: Hall just stopped mid-thought, not making clear what Wilson was wrong about.)
How does that segment look to a typical viewer? I suspect many viewers -- particularly those who lean to the right -- come away from the segment believing Wilson. He seemed to be offering specifics, he claimed to have the support of the Congressional Research Service, and the "rebuttal" of him was laughably vague; it wasn't even a full sentence. And it came well after viewers saw Wilson's claims.
It's bad enough that MSNBC is allowing Wilson's outburst last night to drive the day's discussion of health care; it's indefensible that in doing so they are doing such a poor job of debunking his underlying claims.
UPDATE: Just 15 minutes after the segment about Wilson, MSNBC is right back at it, playing a clip of him and devoting a large chunk of their health care coverage to this sideshow. And how long do you think it'll be before MSNBC anchors express shock that the American people don't understand health care? This. Is. Why.
UPDATE 2: ... And 8 minutes later, more focus on Wilson.
UPDATE 3: At least two more segments have mentioned Wilson, bringing the total to at least four -- in the past hour alone.

When it comes to nerds and jocks, the stereotype that brains always beat brawn at cognitive tests has been proved false.
A study by Professor Jocelyn Faubert of the University of Montreal's School of Optometry has found that professional athletes can track fast moving objects better than even elite amateur athletes, and at a much superior rate to non-athlete university students.
"[W]e found that professional athletes were able to process the visual scenes much better than amateur athletes who were in turn better than the students," Faubert explained in a press release for the study. "It would appear that athletes are able to hyper-focus their attention to enhance learning, which is key to their abilities."
The study measured the visual perceptual and cognitive abilities of participants, which included 102 professional athletes, 173 elite amateur athletes, and 33 average, non-athletic university students.
Professional players included English Premier League soccer players, NHL hockey players and France's Top 14 club rugby players, while amateur athletes were recruited from the NCAA American university sports program and a European Olympic training centre.
Using a three-dimensional multiple-object-tracking speed threshold task (3D-MOT), participants were tested over 15 sessions, and researchers were able to isolate several mental abilities: distribution of attention between a number of moving targets amongst distractors, large field of vision, maximum speed of objects that one is able to follow, and the ability to perceive depth.
These skills are necessary for viewing complicated scenes, such as when navigating traffic, crossing the street, or following sports activities. The tests were random, and so no prior experience or knowledge about game strategy was necessary.
Interestingly, all three groups improved their perception score throughout the 15 training sessions. Faubert concluded that it is unclear whether professional athletes' superior skills were innate or acquired through extensive training. "Clearly, mental processing and learning skills are key to the excellent performance of the professional athletes," he said.
found that professional athletes have increased cortical thickness in some areas of the brain, with the volume related to the level of training completed.
The study
was published on Jan. 31 in the journal Scientific Reports,
and was conducted at the University of Montreal with a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

If your jewelry box simply can't hold all of your baubles and glittering chains any longer, consider investing in a jewelry armoire. Jewelry armoires are large jewelry boxes that keep your jewelry collection organized. Many jewelry box armoires offer drawers, compartments, special hooks and fold-out doors so you can find your favorite jewelry pieces with ease. Some jewelry cabinets offer jewelry storage that is designed to store delicate pieces carefully with multiple dividers and velour-lined drawers and compartments. You will need to consider many factors when shopping for jewelry storage solutions. Let us help you choose a jewelry cabinet or jewelry chest armoire that will complement your decor and keep your jewelry safe and secure.
Select the right size: When shopping for jewelry armoires, you will be able to choose from a variety of different sizes. Consider two main factors when selecting a jewelry armoire size: the size of your jewelry collection and the available space in your bedroom, closet or dressing room. If you have a large jewelry assortment or would like to expand your collection, choose a jewelry chest armoire with plenty of internal space and compartments. If you are short on floor or counter space in your home, on the other hand, consider a compact jewelry armoire. Jewelry armoires are available in a variety of models, including large wall units, desktop or dresser-top units and free-standing floor units. You might consider measuring a space in your bedroom or closet for a jewelry armoire.
Consider style: A jewelry armoire is a piece of furniture, and it will need to complement the theme and furniture of your bedroom, closet or living space. You can choose from several jewelry storage designs and styles, including French country units with handcrafted doors, traditional armoires with engravings, modern jewelry armoires with clean lines and straight edges, and chests with Asian-inspired engravings and details. You can also choose from real wood armoires made from pine, oak, cherry wood or maple, armoires with fabric detailing and even gorgeous metal jewelry cabinets.
Choose your safety and security features: Some jewelry armoires are designed with locks on drawers and door handles, while others are designed to look less like a jewelry armoire and more like a common household mirror or cabinet. These features, in addition to quality construction and materials, offer security for your valuable jewelry pieces. Some jewelry armoires also featured hidden drawers and compartments for especially valuable or expensive pieces.

Newbie needs help with painting....
I've been lurking this board now for a long while and I have to say, that I have never seen SO MUCH info in a single place! This place really is great. And I hope I can get some help with some questions I have. I have searched and although there is a ton of info out there, it is a little daunting filtering through it.
Before I ask, this is some info on the rig and paint:
This is an off-road 4x4 that I've swapped an engine into (along with the tranny, t-case, axles, springs..... basically everything is from another manufacturer except for the frame and body). Although it is for off-road, it is also my daily driver which is why I would like to do a "nice" paint job.
I will strip the paint this weekend using both chemical and media blast. I will then apply POR-15 on all exposed areas and apply the primer that POR has suggested.
On top of that, I will apply a DuPont base colour, and follow that with a clear I have from another manufactuer. This clear (I can't remember the manufacturer) will adhere to the DuPont. I got a sample of it for free from another fellow chemist so I would like to use it.
I will be using an HVLP gun and doing this all in an enclosed area.
Now the questions:
(1) Once I apply the POR primer, how long should I wait for it to dry before I apply the colour coat?
(2) How many coats of colour?
(3) What grit should I sand the primer and colour coats with?
I think that's it! Other than my questions, how does my setup sound? I don't plan on wet sanding/buffing the final clear just because I'm afraid of buffing to far through the clear and ruining the paint.
Thanks for your help
Short n Sweet
I like the short&sweet Q&A: Here's what I'd do, others will have different opinions. I've shot POR15, and I've covered it with Dupont Chroma System, and I've covered POR15 with Chroma Premier (both 2-stage). Here goes:
(I think the POR15 "primer" is a waste, I've never had trouble with other primers sticking to the POR15)
1) Don't know. I'd wait 48-hours after painting the POR15, but I don't know about their primer. I'd be worried their primer is porous, sucking-in your expensive Dupont paint. Personally, I'd cover the POR15 with Chroma Premier sealer that's been "Value-Shaded" (Dupont jargon for pre-colored). You'll use less paint. If you haven't bought the POR15 yet, you can try the Dupont Epoxy DTM Primer-Sealer (DTM=Direct to Metal). If you haven't sprayed POR15 before, it sucks. Wicked-noxious (full respirator), and I always have trouble with thinned-POR15 peeling off the metal like a sheet of plastic film. Brushed-on POR15 seems pretty bullet-proof.
2) Depends on how you lay-down with an HVLP. Dupont recommends 2-3 coats. I do 7-or-so, but that's usually because I want the deepest color I can get. If you value-shade before the paint, you can probably get away with 2-3 medium-wet coats.
3) Sand the primer? Are you talking about post-POR15, pre-sealer?? You can't sand POR15 at all. And you never want to sand sealer. If you're talking about something like Dupont's Prime-n-Seal, I'd use 320(wet), but you should finish with a non-sanded seal-coat. Never, ever, even on a dare, sand the Chroma base-color. Sanding it takes off the top "rough" coat, and the clear won't adhere. If you're talking about single-stage Color, then I wouldn't use anything more agressive than 1000, Dupont will tell you 1500. Start with 1500, if that doesn't do it, hit it with 1200, then 1000. 1000 will (for the most-part) buff-out, but 600 won't (trust me!).
Lastly- don't worry about sanding the clear. It's not like you're trying to descale-rust here, you're just lightly (1500-2000grit) rubbing it, almost the grit of compound. And, $100 says you'll have more than 1 run to contend with, unless you're painting in a temperature and airflow-controlled booth with enough lighting to play a night football game. The color is a breeze, the clear isn't. Color goes on somewhere around 1-3mils thick per coat, the clear is closer to 7-8mils per coat. Do what the rest of us do, lay down 3-or-4 coats of clear when you're only planning on 2, then sand it down those 2-coats.
One final note, if you are skilled (lucky) enough to actually lay down clear without runs, don't touch ANY part with sandpaper, as you'll never be able to match the texture from the sanded (mirror) finish to the factory (orange-peel-texture) you'll get from un-sanded spraying.
I attached a picture for those of you who don't believe a buffer can make up for a whole bunch of mistakes. What you'll see is a tailgate with 4-coats of clear, purposesly sanded with 1200 about 2-days after the clear was shot. The right-side shows what it looks like buffed (and, if you're wondering what those "spots" are in the buffed paint, it's actually the reflection of my garage's ceiling, those spots are the un-finished spackle of the sheetrock!
Good luck, send pictures when you're done!
(just my $.02 added here!) By all means buff your clear- that is what they are intended for- to give a glossy smooth clear reflection... use really fine grits (as suggested already) and take your time... nothing makes a slick paint job like a well buffed clear!!! (and adds to the durability)
Wow, thanks for all that info! The POR won't be sprayed on, so I do plan on brushing it on. "Apparently" it has a self-levelling agent and I should be OK. Whatever the case, it'll have to work.
And thanks for the POR primer tip. I'm just going to buy the Dupont Primers you suggested and go from there.
The only other question I guess I have is in regards to the clear. What grit would you suggest I wet sand with, and then what about the buffing compounds?
I saw a show once where they were explaining the art of buffing clear, and I remember them saying that you should never use the buffer around sharp edges b/c you could burn through. But if no buffer, then what? Hand buff? Random orbital? Just need some advice Thanks again!
Check out another thread I'm in about buffing:
You'll see what I use.
As far as grit to use on the clear, I told you above... (2000)/1500/1200.
Oh, and the part about burn-through when buffing the clear can be an issue for people who only lay-down the "recommended" 2-coats. That's why we customizers lay down 4-5. Also, the 3M hookit pads listed in that other thread are pretty forgiving, and you've got to have hands of rock if you're putting enough pressure on those foam pads (or not moving the buffer) to do that much damage. Buffing ain't 'grinding', it's more like passing a feather-duster over a fine dining-room table.
Thanks again. That buffing thread gave me some good guidelines on what I need to pick up before I start painting. After reading it though, I saw something interesting. You mentioned something about buffing on a semi-hard clear? And that clear should be put on before 24 hrs of base colour? Is that right? Once I spray on the last coat of colour, how long would I wait to clear it?
And the buffing of the clear, once the final coat has gone on, how long should I wait (or not wait) to buff? Thanks again

Not so, You must get tech sheet as every base is different including the different bases Dupont makes. Times range from 6 hours to 27 hours depending on base. This is not an area you guess at.
And the buffing of the clear, once the final coat has gone on, how long should I wait (or not wait) to buff? Thanks again
Here again if its a HP resin some can be buffed in hour others 4hours or over night. Dupont makes about 20+ different clears and all are different. Wait to long and you will think your buffing cement. Need tech sheet!
Wait period
BarryK is correct on most parts...
Every base/topcoat is different (obviously), and the times will vary based on temperature, airflow, and whether you're baking it. However, most anything you'd use in a non-production facillity (like Chroma Premier, NOT "ultra productive") generally has the <24-hour mark for recommended clearcoat application after paint. But, certainly read the can before you apply it, and be prepared to shoot clear within around 12-hours from your basecoat. You can also buy additives to extend those times, and there's always adhesion promoter if you waited too long (adhesion promotor affects the DOI, distinctness of image... if you're looking for the "factory" non-deep look, use adhesion promoter or flexible additive. If you're looking for the deepest look, stay away from them).
And, either BarryK is a professional painter in a professional facillity, or he's braver than I... I've screwed up too many clearcoats trying to buff too early, when it's soft and can move around a lot. He's 100% correct, after 24-hours the clear is rock-hard. But, that's not a bad thing (unless you've made lots of runs/sags you need to repair).
If you sag/run a panel, it'll take days for you to sand/buff them to perfection if you wait more than 24-hours. Someone who knows what they're doing with a buffer can repair it in an hour, if it's still soft. Someone who doesn't know what they're doing with a buffer will mess up their new clear coat, requiring a sandblaster or chemical stripper.
I find that it IS a miserably-long job to sand-out sags or runs in hard clearcoat. But, the harder something is, the deeper the shine after buffing, and I don't run the risk of having to reshoot. Since I average shooting less than 3-4 cars a year, I find sanding down the hard clear a labor of love.
Good luck,
Clear buffing times.
I should have been a little more precise in my response.
The hyper clears of course can be buffed depending on type and temp in 30 minutes to 4 hours of course this would best apply to a production type shop and us do-it-yourselves can easily wait over night to buff. (and should)
Most clears that are air dried (not baked) will buff good from next day to three days fairly well. A lot of the clears will start buffing very hard after 3rd or 4th day and some after about 5 days forget it. Tech sheets here can save a lot of sweat and tears for sure for the do-it-yourselfer.
A lot of factors go into deciding how a clear buffs, such as type of Isocyanate, resin of the clear and the final hardness designed into the clear. Rated by pencil hardness.
On the opposite side of this some clears will not buff at all before 4-5 days, although these are not normal clears used in automotive refinishing they do find their way in this market sometimes.
Barryk and all the rest of the reply are good info, but few told you about isocyanate's, you spoke of an enclosed area I hope you have some kind of ventilation, respirator's will not remove isocyanate's they will kill you or at least wreck your nervous system , please check this out I speak from experience. Doc.
How right you are! Sometimes we discuss this stuff like it s a low carb beer and the safety issue is overlooked.
The stuff you can smell is not the killer, it the stuff you can't smell you need to be worried about.
Thanks for all the help guys. I was going to have my media blaster (after he has epoxy primed it too) paint the rig but $$$ is tight and I have everything already except the base colour paint. Soooo, I'm likely doing it myself. We'll see how it turns out
I won't be painting "exactly" in a closed space. More like outside in a screen house that I fabbed up. Basically allows for fresh air to circulate but no bugs, pollen, etc. Should be sweet, and I'll also have a fan at the door to pull some overspray out.
Wish me luck!
just a side note and tip, if you get runs and sags in your clear coat best way i've found to level them off is with a small piece of paint stick with 1200 grit paper and a razor blade, you use the razor blade to take the top off the run, the with your paint stick and paper you concentrate soley on the run, keeping it level and flat the run will sand down and as it does so, go to 1500, and finally to 2000, when you wet sand your project you'll be able to see any imperfections in the clear/paint/ or runs that are still present they will be shiny compared to your flat area that has been sanded smoothly. be sure not to buff and polish in the direct sun it'll bake on to the paint and make it hard to work with also.

Before Steve Byrne became a comedian, he was planning to be an actor.
Once he found his comic voice, Byrne and others were challenged by their friend, actor Vince Vaughn, to write a TV pilot. Vaughn was shocked that Byrne followed through with the dare. More importantly, he liked Byrneĺs concept and characters and set matters in motion by engaging producer Rob Long and crafting ôSullivan & Son,ö a situation comedy that just began its third season and airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on TBS.
All of a sudden, Byrne had to be an actor after all, something he said he had stopped wanting to be and isnĺt.
ôI donĺt think youĺll see me standing on stage holding a skull and doing a soliloquy any time soon,ö Byrne said. ôI am still learning to act and would never refer to myself as an actor. Of course, I have some of the best teachers on the set with me. Christine Ebersole has two Tony Awards, Dan Lauria has been a star in every media and had a hit series with ĹThe Wonder Years,ĺ and Jodi Long has played major modern and classical roles. Iĺm surrounded by talent. I just have to stay out of its way and try to pick up some pointers from the masters.ö
Byrne designed ôSullivan & Sonö to have a large cast. He said he wanted to write a show he would watch and have his character surrounded by people he would want to know.
As his sidekicks, Byrne chose comics who worked their way up the New York club ladder as he did, colleagues who were also friends and who he trusted would be welcome in peopleĺs homes as television characters.
Owen Benjamin, Ahmed Ahmed and Roy Wood Jr. join Byrne, who is Korean-American, Irish-American, and plain old American, to form what I call a bomber-crew cast that can draw on all kinds of experiences to make people laugh with their observation humor.
Benjamin, Ahmed, and Wood accompany Byrne to Philadelphia Saturday, July 19 to do a show at the Trocadero Theater, 10th and Arch streets. Byrne said each performer will do an individual set, then they will take the stage together to do some sketch comedy and bits they worked out as a group.
Acting in a series after giving up acting for comedy still amazes Byrne, who said he considers himself primarily a stand-up comedian.
Acting was on Byrneĺs agenda when he arrived in New York from Kent State University in Ohio, near his native Pittsburgh, to study acting. (I told Byrne not to mention he is an avid Penguins fan when he is at the Troc. He said he knew better and will not utter the name Sidney Crosby in Philadelphia).
Byrneĺs first job before enrolling at the Actors Studio or some bastion of theater education was at Carolineĺs, a comedy club, where he was hired to take reservations and sweep floors. One night into the job, the comic bug bit him.
ôI watched the show and loved the comics,ö Byrne said. ôI thought, ĹI can do that. I know I can do that.ĺ Let me tell how good an actor I was. In four years as a theater major at Kent State, I was never cast in a show. Some might consider that a clue. I did. I saw comedy as something Iĺd enjoy more, and I was right. It was four month before I dared try it, but once I began, I worked at it with the doggedness and stamina I canĺt even imagine all these years later.
ôI worked anywhere that would have me. Iĺd go from club to club to get as much practice as I could. It takes 10 years for a comic to find his voice. It took me 12. I started by talking about my background. I didnĺt want to be an Asian comic because Iĺm only half Asian, and the Irish-Korean-American mix was funnier. Now that Iĺm married for three years and have a daughter (Olivia, age 2), I find Iĺm doing more jokes about marriage and fatherhood.
ôOwen, Roy, and Ahmed also formed their acts around their lives, so we became a team of sorts, and when ĹSullivan & Sonĺ came to be, I brought them with me. I love traveling with friends. Itĺs so much easier. We want to entertain and have a good time in Philadelphia. And head down to Genoĺs to have some steaks.ö
Lavin to perform in New Hope
Linda Lavin became well known to the American public by starring as the woman who heads west to start her life over and gets a job at Melĺs Diner in ôAlice.ö
Before she achieved TV fame, and after for that matter, Lavin had a wonderful career on Broadway. In Strouse and Adamĺs ôItĺs a Bird, Itĺs a Plane, Itĺs Superman,ö a musical that is a lot of fun, Lavin introduced a song, ôPossibilities.ö She uses that title for a nightclub act she is doing Friday and Saturday at the Rrazz Room in New Hope.
Star of the Month
I have adored actress Maureen OĺHara since I was a child. She was beautiful, yes, but she also gave wonderful performances that stand the test of time and make in unconscionable that OĺHara never received an Oscar nomination for any of her work in movies.
You can see what I mean this entire month as Turner Classic Movies shows many of OĺHaraĺs films. She is the stationĺs Star of the Month.
Because of that accolade, OĺHara, soon to turn 94, was interviewed by Robert Osborne, who asked why she insisted doing so much of her own stunt work.
Sharp as tack though looking frail, OĺHara said doing stunts earned her the respect of her castmates and the crew. She said she was less brave than stubborn and that some of the pratfalls worried her. She added words I wish everyone would heed, ôBut they were paying you good money to act in these pictures, including the stunts, so the best thing was to stop complaining about what you had to do and just do it!ö
ESPN dropped ball
ESPN really has to consider linking with another radio outlet in the Philadelphia market. Its association with WPEN (97.5-FM) just wonĺt do. At least for anyone with the slightest interest in soccer and the current World Cup.
We canĺt be near televisions every minute. Streaming video on an iPad while driving ranks with texting in behaviors to be discouraged. So what does a soccer fan do when his or her team is playing an intense match and no visual medium is feasible? Go the old-fashioned route and listen to the radio.
Except you canĺt. WPEN announces its affiliation with ESPN frequently, but if you listen during games, you hear regular programming on both WPEN stations, its sports-oriented talk outlet, The Fanatic, on FM, and its religious platform, 950 on AM. Nowhere do you hear anything about the World Cup, let alone have the opportunity to hear play-by-play. ESPN has let Philadelphia soccer fans down by allowing its local stations to fall asleep on their broadcasting jobs.
I understand soccer is far from the American pastime. In that case, ESPN should get WPEN off the hook by engaging another station to air the games. Either that, or broadcast the games on the AM outlet, which cannot have that huge an audience from the sampling of religious twaddle I heard while searching for soccer.
The Fanaticĺs real handicap is I listened to its talk hosts in lieu of the Netherlands-Mexico match I wanted to hear. I am a Netherlands fan, and even if I wasnĺt, the Delaware Valley has a sizeable enough Mexican population to warrant some local broadcast of the game. The level of conversation, and even the level of hype mustered to entice listeners to call, was so far inferior to anything on WIP (94.1 FM), I half wondered how 97.5 justifies its existence, soccer games or not.
Anthony Gargano, Rob Ellis, and Josh Innes are artists at the mike next to the lazy-voiced and dim hosts I heard on WPEN. I stopped being angry at the station and pitied it.
You can bet 97.5 promoted the USA-Belgium game. That was about the only acknowledgement I heard on that station that there was a World Cup. Any other mention was in ESPN ads that obviously demonstrated the opposite of truth in advertising.
Sure. Sure. The NBA draft, Flyers trades, Eagles camp, and Phillies woes are more likely on a listenerĺs mind than soccer. But this is the World Cup, and if 97.5 opts not to broadcast matches, it should direct interested listeners to stations with a clear signal where they may find games. ESPN owes that to soccer fans. Taking arms against the trouble WPEN caused me, I scanned the dial and found a Cape May, N.J., station (97.3 FM) that carried the game, albeit through static until I got into New Jersey. I also picked up games on 98.7 FM in New York.
If ESPN is broadcasting something as popular and international as the World Cup, it is incumbent upon the network to obtain clearances for every game in each major market, including Philadelphia, the fourth largest broadcast enclave in the U.S. I wonĺt say no one needed 97.5 or 950 the days I ended up listening to them, but from what I heard, I canĺt see international soccer hurting the ratings.
One more note World Cup note. The English announcers amuse me with their seriousness and knowledge about soccer. The best, though, was the Mexican team that announced the Holland-Mexico match. They are so glib and entertaining. And, of course, thereĺs that patented scream of ôGoalllllllllllll!!!ö

January Jones Posts Amazing Throwback Childhood Photo
Winning the throwback photo trend on Twitter, January Jones posted a hilariously awkward pic on Sunday (February 23).
In what appears to be a school portrait, the "Mad Men" star wears a multi-colored print button-down shirt and gold stud earrings. Looking quite proud, she also sports a gap-teeth smile and a a short blonde boyish haircut.
Delighted to share the snapshot with her social media followers, the 36-year-old actress captions it, "#nofilter #obviously #ilovemy9yroldself."

Hi there,
I have recently got myself a W plate 316i se compact (1895cc) with just over 80,000 on the clock. I asked the chap who I got it off if it had had a new timing belt fitted recently because of the mileage and was told that it had a timing chain instead. Whilst nosing around under the bonnet I have noticed a belt opposite the radiator at the bottom of the engine running over a few pulleys. Is this a timing belt? Or is there a timing chain and a separate belt that powers the alternator, water pump etc.. I have no reason to believe the bloke I got it off has ripped me off, I am just concerned he may have been mistaken.

Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) will enter a new innings of community service, its president Amitabh Choudhary told the media in Ranchi on Wednesday.
"Medical and educational facilities to citizens such as X-ray, MRI scan, ultrasound and other diagnostic services at nominal charges will be provided at the JSCA stadium in Ranchi on a no-profit and no-loss basis," said Choudhary.
He added that nominal charges levied would be solely to maintain equipment and pay salaries to medical staff.
JSCA also plans to set up a coaching cradle for medicine and engineering aspirants. "We are in talks with institutes who want to set up a base at the stadium. We will provide them space for classes," the JSCA boss said.
Choudhary recently took voluntary retirement from state police service to pursue a career in politics besides discharging his duties as JSCA president. Community service, in that context, is a way to score support among masses.
The news meet also threw light on the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament scheduled to take place in Ranchi from March 25 onwards.

Tord Grip, Sven-Goran Eriksson's right-hand man, said the England camp would leave it as late as possible before making a decision on the Manchester United star.
Grip said: "We hope he will be training with us this week. His fitness is good but it is another thing to play in the World Cup. I would say he has a 50/50 chance."
There was positive news about Beckham today after he completed a training session with physiotherapist Alan Smith. After some kicking and running, a Football Association spokesman said Beckham was "making progress".
There had been weekend speculation that Beckham could be sent home without kicking a ball and although Eriksson dispelled this after the 2-2 draw with Cameroon, there is hope the Manchester United star is on the way to recovering from the broken bone in his left foot.
The England captain is still experiencing discomfort but the coaching and medical staff will be asking him to step up his work and then assess any reaction before next weekend.
He has been told a certain amount of pain is normal but, provided the bone has knitted together properly, there is little risk of further complications.
Realistically it is unlikely that Beckham, who has been provoking mass hysteria from his hordes of Japanese fans, would be in the starting line-up for Sunday's match. It is more likely he would start on the bench.
Newcastle's Kieron Dyer is also confident of returning to full training this week and made good progress in his session this morning. There was also positive news about Robbie Fowler, Ashley Cole and Nicky Butt, who have all been cleared to train tomorrow.
Meanwhile, England have have sealed off two floors of their 10-storey hotel on Awaji Island for the squad's exclusive use and with Japanese guests desperate to catch a glimpse of Beckham or Michael Owen, security is tight.
