Fiber Glass Hood. Wat should I do?

[CLAVEL3699]

Mga bossing;

Mga 2 times na ako nagpapaint una nippon tapos anzahl. lagi na lang syang bumubula.

Ano bang dapat gawin dito? Ayoko naman nang flat paint .

Mali lang ba pagptrep nila or talagang prone sa pagbula yung fibergalss hood. laki nanang gastos ko dito eh.

Tulong naman papapintura nanaman ako.

[ghosthunter]

I suggest you first install some insulation under the hood to isolate the heat from the engine.

[CLAVEL3699]

Anong magandang insulation?

Nilagyan ko na sya nang roof insulator. Wala pa din...

[ghosthunter]

maybe a thicker one?... or double layer?

or if its too much trouble, why not reinstall the metal hood back?

[CLAVEL3699]

Sir wala na yung metal hood ko nabangga kasi ako nun nawasak yung hood. Meron fiberglass barkada ko kaya yun na lang kinabit ko saka binayaran ko na din sya eh.

Sayang naman yung hood.

ibang paint ang gamitin mo... kasi baka hindi kumakapit or may air na naiiwan... patrade mo na lang sa carbon fiber

try marine epoxy primer first, that is what we use for painting our fiberglass lifeboats. sprayable naman e, and you just need a thin coat. it works with either pure fiberglass or fiberglass reinforced plastic (frp). also, make sure you prepare the surface before you primer - sand it first with a fine grit sandpaper then clean with thinner to get rid of any oil.

suggestion is from our head painter on the rig.

kailangan ba na masilyahan ko sya nang makapal then sand it ko sya.

then clean ko sya nang thinner

hindi masilya, primer pards. marine epoxy primer. pero, BUT, yan e sa fiberglass boat namin dito sa rig ha. not sure if it will work on a hot car hood. ask mo muna sa marine paint dealer bago ka bumili. why not get a sample of primer (1 teaspoon), apply it on the underside of the hood and see if it sticks before you shell out the mullah. better bring the car when you go to the paint dealer. check mo yellow pages ang marine painting supplies.

another thing that you should consider before you try this is, is it compatible with the top coat you will use? kung hindi compatible e di bubula din yan agad.

and maybe that is the problem??? hindi compatible yung paint na gamit mo (automotive paint) with the fiberglass which could in fact be FRP, fiberglass reinforced plastic, in which case you need paint that will stick to plastic.

Thanks. Sir Yebo

Ang problema nh bumubulang hood. Madali lang yang, sa preparation lang nagsimula ang problema mo.

Sa pagawa kasi ng hood, dapat may molde.

Bago pahiran ng gelcoat ang molde, pinapahiran muna ng wax. Maraming wax, para madaling paghiwalayin ang finish product.

Sigurado ako na tamad ang unang nagpintura niyan kaya maraming wax ang natira sa hood.

No choice ka. Kailangan strip mo hanggang gelcoat. Wag ka gagamit ng stripsol, sumosuot sa maliliit na pores ng fiberglass yon. Pag hindi nalinis mabuti magmamantsa naman. Gumamit ka ng scraper, pero kailanagn nakahiga para di madamage ang gelcoat. pag nastrip mo na, lihain mo hanggang sa akala mo ay wala ng wax. hugasan mo ng laquer thinner, tapos soapy water, let it dry. and do it again the next day. 3 consecutive days. sa huli wash with thinner and spray epoxy primer. let the epoxy dry overnite and then proceed to normal painting process.

Di na kailangan ang insulator, very poor conductor of heat ang fiberglass kaya ginagamit sa ref yan.

[CLAVEL3699]

Boss turbo;

nung huli kasi pintura ginamitan nang paint chemical remover yun ba yung stripsol?

Ano ba dapat gawin kung yun ang ginamit?

nung natanggal na sya pinatungan nang masilya tapos niliha na sya kaso hndi hinugasan nang lacquer thinner.

ano yung scraper? sorry boss dami tanong para ako na gawa nung prep para sigurado.

[CLAVEL3699]

tama ka boss tamad yung unang gumawa... basta pinunturahan kaagad nang primer tapos lihain nang konti isang araw nga lang sya ginawa eh.

[CLAVEL3699]

papaback job ko dun sa huling gumawa.
