I use two stage paint, base coat, and clear coat. Most of the time I use Dupont. I use three different catalysts for different temperatures but sometimes in my finished product I get tiny little air bubbles in my clear coat. Why am I getting them?

Thanks!

PS: Asked for my hubby. :-)

My husband drives my MX6 back and forth to work, and one day after work he came home & said the car was having 'issues' (as noted above). We've had 3 mechanics look at it and even the dealership. We've heard it could be the O2 sensors, it could be the plugs, wires, distributor (we've replaced them all) and its still not quite right. I saw a response to a similar question with a possible answer of a fuel pump...any & all serious input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a couple of problems with my Z28. The Transmition is Shifting Hard, and I was wondering what I can do to fix this. It doesn't shift hard all the Time, just some of the time. It is an Automatic, and I have noticed that the Tackometer shows the Transmition shifting any where Above 1100 RPM.

I think that is just to early for Shifting. It Shifts hard, when it does that. Is there any way to Adjust the Shifting-Pionts??

And How do you quite a 'Knocking' Rear-Differential?!?
I just changed the Fluid, and it STILL does this!!

Please, F-Body Gear-heads, Help me!!

I just bought a 2001 cavalier, manual trans. this is my first car and I am a total idiot about cars
I am traveling out of the states for three weeks on vacation. I don't know anyone here who can take care of the car while I am gone.
What I want to know is, would it be ok to just leave it in the parking lot ( it is just the apaertment complex parking lot). or is there a service that can store the car for me and make sure the battery will not die while I am gone.
NB. When I bought the car I didn't know if the battery is new or not
thank you

I have a 2001 maxima automatic and it just recently started downshifting and upshifting to 1, 2 harsh..i feel it when it downshifts at 60km/h and when it downshifts to first..its very evident its downshifting! however, its not verrry hard...the downshift is wats worrying me..its too feelable

...the transmission flush had been done 20 000km's ago at 107 000km's ....does it need another one now because of rough driving? ...the shifts suddenly became apparent to me within this month or so

Any help would be deeply appreciated!

I have a 1992 twin turbo stealth & put a 1991 6G72TT motor in it which is the same motor that came stock & the one year difference shouldnt be a problem w/ my ecu. After i got the motor in & did some tuning i had it running pretty good with a slightly high idle that i adjusted down. After driving it some(less then 100miles) it started to cut out more & more, which I thought might be bad wires but now im thinking its something else. After driving it today i had a problem with my boost. My guage showed me over boosting at like 2500rpms without punching the gas which shouldnt happen but i was not actually getting any boost at all from the turbos & my car kept dying after i gave it some gas. I thought it was a vacuum or intake leak but i couldnt find any. Im going to pressure test it but i wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas of what it could be? I tried to rule out anything else it could be but if anyone else has any ideas i tend to forget simple things now and again...thanks.......

Why does my car not lock when I push the lock button (obviously elec locks), but the built-in security goes crazy if I open the UNLOCKED door without turning the key in the door? Can/should I disarm it? Or how do I fix it so the damn doors lock when I push the button? Its a 1990 Cadillac Seville. Please & thank you!

Sometimes when I am drivong my car, it will suddenly loose power for a second, and cuts out real quick, and when it does, the check engine light pops on for a second, the tachometer moves up or down really quick, and the speedometer drops about 10 or more mph, and goes right back up...even if I don't slow down 10 mph. Sometimes this happes repeatedly, one after another.....but sometimes I can drive it miles and not have it happen once. What could be wrong with my vehicle?

Fixed that and know it starts, but as soon as it starts it shuts off. Runs good
