I'm shooting my door jams tomorrow. I've got the paint sanded down so all the clear is removed. Think I can shoot the dark blue metallic over the old gray paint, or should I hit it with some gray primer first? I'm wondering if I even need to prime it...

I allways use a sealer. Are u useing B/C What did u use to sand it down. Did u break though the paint anywere?

 

400. Broke through a few spots, but fanned it out. It's pretty straight. keep in mind the body is fiberglass not metal. heh.

U might have a prob with the edges lifting were u broke through. The reducer is some pretty strong stuff. The body is glass ? What kind of custom stuff u doing

 

Word.. didn't think of that thanks!

It's a corvette

hey, do you have any updated pictures of your progress other than your site? looks good so far, but the 91-96 bumper will kill it. just my opinion. you should update the dash to a 90+ style ive never understood that "bread loaf" thing in the earlier dash's

thanks

 

I need to snap some more pix. I like the 91-96 bumpers and wide molding better than the old style. The breadloaf is gone, replaced with a panel. If I could get my hands on a crashed 90-91 i'd swap the dash, but I'm not about to pay asking price for one on ebay.

I'm gonna try to shoot the door jams and inner 1/2 fenders sunday. Hopefully i'll take some pix. I was gonna shoot them tonight but I can't with the car on the lift (doors wont open wide enough) and I cant put it on the floor for the night because theres another car under it.
