Yes, that slick finish did not last long. It was a sticky substance, and therefore, a coat of dirt would adhere rather quickly. Elden -----Original Message-----

Subject: [STMFC] Re: Car Cement OK, I can understand now that car cement is somewhat like car undercoating, a petroleum based product- . If so, then I would suspect that it would be thick (i.e. have some bulk) and would be expected to at least "round off" or obscure the finer details (I picture the coating to be not unlike very thin asphalt paving!). However, in photos it looks to have a glossy "skin" when newly applied, apparently enough that it can accept painted numbers, etc. However, it would seem probable that dulling of the finish would occur fairly quickly, and that in our modeling a flat black finish would be most appropriate, even for cars that are relatively new. Do I understand this correctly? Denny -- Denny S. Anspach, MD Sacramento Yahoo! Groups Links |
