SWPruett 83 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 Slow, slow, SLOW! Detail work at the rear of the car continues, but progress has been made! Heading into the Fall season and things are starting to shape up on the bodywork front. Soon, we will be fitting new doors and working the roof areas. My Winter work is planned! http://1970boss302.blogspot.com/2014/10/rear-body-detail-work-hi-build-primer.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

70fastbak 16 Report post Posted October 27, 2014 Just wanted to mention this to you.... My local PPG store has stopped selling JP205 due to some complaints of it lifting in areas after time. They are now selling JP 209 which is a high build primer also, not exactly sure what the differences are but the change was obviously for a reason. I find the JP 209 easier sanding and for sure lays down nicer with way less sanding needed to get the orange peel out, it lays down real smooth with a 1.8 gun. Just thought id mention it to you, I will be using the 209 for sure on my car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just thought id mention it to you, I will be using the 209 for sure on my car. This is almost unbelievable timing that you offer this information and thanks very much for passing it along. I have recently had experience with this very issue on a few small areas with JP205 and will be moving to JP209 shortly. I have been working with JP205 for q good while and had a nice combination worked out that sprayed reasonably well with my turbine HVLP equipment, so it seems I will be starting from scratch with the JP209, but based on what you say about "sprayability", it might just work out better in the end. Either way, I will report everything I find on the blog! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may be able to find more info out from somewhere, my local PPG store were pretty vague when it came to explaining why they changed but I heard it from different ppl. I am happy they offered the 209 because like you have been using 205 for a while (personally ive had no issues) but now ive tried 209 I believe it to be a better product, I guess time will tell. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck. Very much appreciated. What I found really weird about this is that the areas that tried to lift were very small and absolutely random over a large spray area. Almost resembled solvent pop but not exactly. My solution was to basically sand through it to the base primer and shoot it over again. That makes for a pretty big PITA, but I certainly won't hesitate to change over and learn the trick of the JP209 if I save myself a single issue with that sort of thing!

SWPruett 83 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 Lot's of time in the shop lately taking care of a TON of little jobs leading up to paint in the trunk! I think we will be set for winter work in short order. http://1970boss302.blogspot.com/2014/11/lots-of-little-things-really-add-up.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those rear panel gaps were a bear but they turned out really slick and I think they will really look great in paint! Thanks a bunch!

Yeah its a lot or work to get all those gaps on the rear looking nice, there are so many to take care of. Most cars ive seen never line up good. Yours are spot on, I built my car around the deck lid so mine should be spot on also lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
