You should try to do a partial repaint where you have to MATCH that factory orange peel. Insurance companies won't pay to paint more than just the damaged panel. If the finish comes out looking like

OK, I've heard of this recall. I even checked out the SOL website http://www.autox.team.net/sol/seatbelt.html. It says that several models were affected, including MGB's, however, only Midget VIN num

I've heard all the complaints lately about VB. But I ignored it all, and ordered a couple of parts from them this morning. A fender patch panel, and a heater valve for my '79 MGB. I live in Indiana,

A while back, I asked about the possibility of rebuilding the fuel pump in my RBB. There is a catch, however. The pump is an AC Delco, not a Lucas. But it failed anyway. I took the housing off and du

The usual method (in a body shop anyway) would be to paint the back side and edges of the door, then hang it on the car, and paint the exterior. That way, you know all the edges are covered, and it w

Steve, if you give me the wheel diameter and width, bolt spacing, and offset, I can probably find something for you. Or, pick up any major auto magazine and find Tire Rack's ad. It's hard to miss, us

Glad I could be of service. Unfortunately, 99% of the cars we paint are two stage, a.k.a. basecoat/clearcoat. On that type of paint, the painters just blend the base color out into the adjacent pane
