It's not that we like doing body work, but I want to know the best paint I can afford to paint the car with. I don't want and Earl Shiibs (SP) paint job after all.

for all the smart chemest.
n20(nitrous oxide) + h20(water)= hno3 (nitric acid) so my question is should i be running nitrous with my water injection? i was reading a old text book and saw this, it just got me thinking.
are you running 100% water or alky water mix?
I used to use 100% water on the early days of my turbo adventures, I had a factory unit from an Olds? i think it was?
anyways, 100% water is OK, while I dont like it due to how corrosive it is- how poorly it cools compare to alky- and the fact it displaces gasoline in the air fuel mixture.
id rather keep every drop of gas for burning!

it is a alky mix, but do you see what I'm saying is it really any good for the engine. still the chemical reaction causes acid to form so am i better off with alky injection or the nitrous?
He was one of the first pioneers in paint and body but it went wrong somewhere. Very sad.

YouTube - EARL SCHEIB -- "AS SEEN ON TV"
Just remember their add when I was a kid. He would come on during football games ect kinda the maaco does now. They would paint everything including bumpers and the warranty pretty much sucked. Maaco is headed down the same path from what I've seen. They just went out of business this year. Lasted 63 years and now crapped out.
so. 82 ciera with 3.0 carbed v6 has moved to another place...looks like i snoozed and lost lol; still looking at ideas for anything with buick v6s...be it carbed (preferably carbed) or EFI'd.....
Earl Schiebs....reminds me of Maaco out here...Maaco does CRAP job on paint honestly ..we call them taxi jobs because the local taxis uses their paint services and it shows. orange peel everywhere, overspray, etc...
im glad im not the only person with a freak mobile obsession!
