    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Has anyone ever tried or heard of this company? http://www.alsacorp.com/killercans.htm Any suggestions as I am looking to repaint? What have you tried as far as aerosol cans that comes out looking good? It seems like the clear is the biggest problem, but the speed clear this company offers is a urethane. Any thoughts?
 
Interesting site. One thing I could not find on site was how long after the hardener is added to the can till the can is junk. Called about it and 3 to 4 hours. Could be an expensive way to go unless you really plan ahead and use the whole can. Might be better to just use a gun and compressor. Dan

I would also like to know.
 
ya see, the stuff i use is not in a can but in small bottles. a few drops of the candy red kicker added to some urethane clear is all you need over standard any color red (i used a ppg flame pearl red). the white pearls are about the same method only not a liquid but a fine powder (applied over ppg china white). if you search it out on ebay you can find it sometimes cheap. they send alot of samples to custom shops but they never send enough to do a car but in our area theres plenty to do a bike and those samples show up on ebay now and then. in my gallery pics there are some pictures of the gs1000 "pearl". i am working now on a photo bucket album with about 300 pictures of the enitre process of how she became the bike she is now. the coolest part of this bike among all the others i own is when you start her up she always sounds greatful. cliff
