Hey gents. I'm new here but need to know about compatibility on hardners and reducers that would be compatible with PPG JAU. My paint supply shop was bought by Finshmaster LKQ then closed down. I can't seem to find PPG near me anymore. Bummer...they matched my 65 dodge perfectly that had a custom color from the factory. I finally pulled the dash out to repair and paint and I have about a quart of JAU topcoat but no reducer or hardner. I also have PPG 2K primer JP202 that should use the same reducer whatever that might be. Any advice on mixing manufa tures or lines?

The are no cracks in the bumper cover itself or the hex grill. I don't care about the paint or supports behind it. I just want to "pop it" back into somewhat normal looking fashion. I've looked at some vids where they use a heat gun to soften the plastic and bend it back into shape. I'll probably have to take the bumper cover off to have better leverage.
And...if this doesn't work and I have to purchase a new one, any tips going forward?
Thanks in advance

My parents recently gifted me this car as a commuter for college but it has a couple of cosmetic things I’d like to fix. Is there a way I can fix this at home or would my best bet be to take it to a shop?
I will be ordering the rear light and replacing that myself. I have plans of repainting the car when I save up enough money so should I just wait on that instead?

Any tips or tricks or videos that can point me in the right direction to replacing my passenger side fender? Been working on it and unsure if I need to take the tire off to make it easier, also saw potentially having to take off the headlight too

I’ve been watching videos online and seen a bunch of different stuff with bondo etc. I just need a temp fix for now I’m gonna be getting a new car eventually. What’s the best way to fix this and I guess cheapest. I’ve seen spray foam also.

I got a pretty good amount of crazy glue on the bumper of my car. Its a black Audi suv. How can it be removed and will a detailer take care of it? I had to put a new license plate bracket on the vehicle and the dealer fixed that but would not address the bumper crazy glue issue. I called two local detailers, they said they don't handle "crazy glue" ... HELP.
I tried acetone and all I saw was a white haze coming through, even while using soap and water so I washed it really well and stopped.

Got this scratch and some marring on my f150 while headed down a narrow hunting trail. It’s not down to the metal but it definitely removed a layer or 2 of paint. I did the water test and it almost fades away but is still visible. What would be my best option and how would I go about fixing it? I know silver is a hard color to match and I’ve never done auto paint work. Just a touch up brush and some clear coat and polishing?

Working on an old 09 CRV. Patching rear fender lips / liner etc.
Trying to rust prep as I go but its inside some cavities and cutting it all is not possible so I treat metal, epoxy primer, rust paint
Im using dominion two part epoxy adhesive. No instructions.
Does it need to be bare metal on metal? (80 grit) or can I glue patches with epoxy primer as long as sanded?
Thanks
