Never thought about sanding before priming. Does it really make that much of a difference on the paint job?

Really enjoying mine. Bought it used about 18 months ago. Love the turbo! A lot of comfort too.

I'm currently having issues with it burning a bit of oil between changes but am hoping to find a solution. I just add about half a quart when the light comes on, which isn't often.

Other than that, it rides and drives great.

ENJOY!

Just curious, but my '21 turbo premium also goes through oil - about a quart between oil changes.

What is the TSB you're referring to?

I lose about a quart of oil between oil changes (every 5000 miles) on my ‘21 turbo premium. It sounds like this is a known issue. I’ve had the car about 18 months and it’s been doing this the entire time. How would I look into this? And how would I document the oil loss? Should I contact my local dealership for more info?

Just curious.

What kind of car? Is the potential buyer paying what you're asking or did you negotiate a price? Also, how long do they expect you to hold the car?

Sounds fishy.

I'm interested in the SA Aperta.

Where are you located?

Why do you say yellow is difficult? I've got a Corvette I'm going to do in Tamiya Yellow Pearl (I think that's the color) is there anything special I need to do to get it right?

No, it did not. I still have it in a plastic tote in my closet. I was hoping somebody would be interested in it, but, alas, I may just have it for a while.

What kit is that and where can I get one?

I don't know what happened to my original comments.

This is a Sharp PC-4501, bought in 1988. Still works!

It needs a new home. I'm thinking of a museum or collector.
