I have some Jeep fordite from the 80s. I know that this material is much more rare than it used to be. because of how robots now do the painting instead of people. People would do a lot more overspray than a robot. I worked as a paint inspector in the 80s and I managed to acquire some at that time. I now from experience that those larger flat square pieces were made by someone in a garage or basement and made from paint bought at home depot or lowes. At the factory each layer is first primered then sprayed and then clear coated and then baked on. It takes sometimes years to get a coat thick enough to be used . When I retired there was very little overspray left on the body frames. Not enough to be useful . I think your the only one with a channel that gives such accurate info on fordite. I have never seen any fate fordite. So. does the fake fordite smell different than the real stuff ?
I have been making Fordite cabs for years. This is excellent advice! I have purchased Fordite in pound quantities, have great connections and still purchase smaller pieces from her site. Why? The Quality. Try it, you'll like it.
I just started making fordite about a month ago. Do you have any trusted retailers to buy in bulk. I'm looking to acquire a pound or two, possibly more depending on price.

Would you be interested in 40yr old aircraft paint agate? It is years of built up brilliant colored aircraft paint that has been over sprayed and baked. I have quite a bit of it that we use for various things but I’m also interested in selling some of it as well. I have some very large pieces as well as miles of smaller pieces. Let me know and I’ll send you some samples🤙🏽
If corvette is the best stuff then would it not be called "chevite" Fordite id assume.it.started with a ford.paint booth. Just a thought not gonna ruin my.day either way
It's highly collectible. It's actually sought after by rock hounds and car collectors. Makes it worth just that much more. Has been collected for a long time. If you don't like it, no need to leave your negative comment.
Another little tip is the smoother the outer paint layer the higher the grade
The Lapidary Channel how much do you sell the corvette for?
Yes
Haha am i 6years too late i wonder if he still has some up@@SmokeyQuartz
Your videos keep coming up when I search for information on so many different topics... Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge!

I own a 1978 Monte Carlo manufactured out of California is there a way to find paint from that time?
Do you sell fordite in wholesale? I am interested in buying large quantity. Thanks
Do you have any old photos of where the agate comes from on the assembly line?
I have a few pieces of the true, original FORDITE from the Rouge River plant
that is why here at detroit fordite we authenticate each piece and all our pieces come from actual auto workers. we love corvette .
Website?
What about Toledo auto plants?
Im pretty sure I bought fordite from you sometime ago but can't remember where? Do you have a link where to purchase rough?

That voice though!
Is there a way to date Fordite from the colors of paints used? If so, do you have any advice on which era used what colors?
Yes you can google stock paint colors per year and match colors up to date fordite. It takes time but worth doing if you really want to know the age
What do you use to get it to shine do you use any kind of lacquers
