[Shotimes] Bad looking slicers

[DAVE]

You can still get Imron. I've got a car painted with it no need for a bra on that thing nothing will chip it. The problem with Imron is it will KILL you. You have to have a self contained O2 supply special filters and mask's to even shoot the stuff. So finding someone to shoot Imron is pretty tough and shooting it yourself could kill you. And alot of paint shops won't sell it to you. They don't want to be responsible for your death if you mix it up in your gun and spray in your own garage.

That's a shame if it is, it was some really tuff stuff. DuPont still lists
it on their website. They say to use Imron where: "Mechanical surface
preparation will be prohibited or impractical later when recoating." I
remember I couldn't even put a scratch in it with my keys.
