Re: Chevrolet Corvette 68
I will take some better photos when the sun has come out.. The body I think looks great.. I just sanded it, primed it and sprayed the black on.. no clearcoat or anything.. really happy so far with it
I like this bodystyle of the Corvettes

Re: Chevrolet Corvette 68
Sorry to hear about the paint, it looked gorgeous!

Re: Chevrolet Corvette 68
I have always heard that you should paint over primer as soon as it's dry enough to sand, if you don't get the paint on right away, you should wait atleast a week for it to cure, or pop it in a dehydrator overnight for a rapid cure then paint the following day.
maybe it's because the primer is still flexible enough when it hasn't fully cured, allowing the paint to be able to "pull" on the primer without hurting the surface. otherwise when the primer has fully cured it's not going anywhere and the paint will stay where it lays and the primer isn't trying to gass out through the paint
