Yellow/orange endura
The elusive yellow/orange 71-72 endura. These are much easier to repair the usual spider web cracks in. Put it in the hot sun and keep it wet with aircraft stripper for a couple of hours, it will actually melt the material. Clean it real good with thinner then block starting with 80-100 grit working progressively to 240-320. Prep, DP90 2-3 good coats, let cure for a few a week or so wet sand with 400. Prep, seal with reduced DP and paint. I have done a few like this with great results. I painted mine over 20 years ago and it looks like day one.[ATTACH][ATTACH]

I've used aircraft stripper, but made sure to scrape/wipe the paint off as soon as it bubble to prevent the "endura" from swelling, then washing with lacquer thinner. Media blasting works good to remove original paint coat.

I had already stripped the nose with a blaster. The aircraft stripper was used to purposely melt the material and fuse everything together. It does not work on the charcoal colored endura but is amazing on the yellow.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
