I wanted to go with SMS as I hear all over they have great quality, but I didn't want to wait months for the top.rick wrote:Hi mz35z - I'd never heard of newstalgiaparts.com. Thanks for the tip. I went to their site and noticed they have new replacement sun visors! Mine are ok..... but just. But for $169.95 a pop I may ask for a pair of new ones as a Fathers Day Gift. I realize that I'll need to transfer the pins (not an easy job) but I guess nothing good comes easy.
Good luck with your priming!
mz35z - One tip with the tack cloth that some may not agree with here, but just my opinion. After using the tack cloth, re-wipe the car down with a microfibre cloth that has been soaked with Isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol). I'm in the semi-conductor clean room business and we use tack cloths as an important part of the cleaning procedure but the tack cloth will leave a residue of it's own even as it picks up larger particles. The ISA will generally dissolve this residue and your cloth will pick it up.

Thanks for the tip! That is good to know. I want to do everything I can to make this turn out perfect. I'll have to do that. I'll use my prepaint prep instead of isopropyl alcohol as I believe it has less water percentage. What I lack in painting experience i hope to make up in proper prep. As most of the pros were saying, most of painting is in prep work.
