Pittsburgh HAMBers- I need a big favor

Anyone in Pittsburgh who can help me-I'd really appreciate it. I am trying to contact Don Fisher who does business as Fisher's Auto Sales and Service or B & D Towing-both at 2151 Robinson Blvd.

In April 2003, I bought a '31 Ford coupe ( pearlescent white with purple fenders) at Carlisle from Mr. Fisher. I am now trying to get it ready for a re-paint, and we can't get the paint off. 80 grit and the paint clogs the paper in just a few swipes. I believe Mr. F told me his son painted the car (maybe).

In any case, if anyone could contact these guys and ask them if they remember anything about painting the car-single stage,lacquer,brand name, anything, I'd really be grateful. You can PM me or call my cell 570-428-5629.

Many,Many thanks. Jeff

 

that sounds like lacquer. just stripped a black 39 chev that was lacquer euuuugh what a mess same as you are describing. what worked best was 80 grit on a buffer probably like an 8 inch disc

 

Thanks, It really doesn't "look" like a lacquer with the pearl in it, but...

 

Why not just use as chemical stripper?

 

Might have to-but it sure would be handy to talk to Don Fisher.

 

Bump

 

Did you try Google-ing him. Or an online phone directory?

 

Yep. Had an old card he gave me when i bought the car-left a message-but it wasn't a business answering machine so I am not sure if it's a current#-no word yet. Googled both businesses-no answer at the phone. Who doesn't answer a towing company phone.

Sure could use the information though. Thanks.

 

Is this the number you tried? 412-244-9548

 

Yes. Also 871-3970 amd the orginal # I had: 412-719-8133-that's the one where I got the machine.

 

I just talked to Buck at the 9548# He said it was enamel with pearl paint. He said try using a honeycomb disc or aircraft paint stripper. Mark

 

Thanks,Mark. I appreciate the help.
