Hi guys,
I'm new to the forums and haven't done body work/paint in over 20 years.
Well a couple of months ago I had my 76 Corvette soda blasted. The person who did claimed to have done a couple of Vette's before. I was not home at the time and my wife sent me some pictures of the job after he was done. Well he went all the way down to bare fiber, you can feel the fibers all over the body of the car. I soaked the car in vinegar and washed it several times to neutralize the vinegar.
I bought some EuroFill (PPG) and was told that if I sprayed 5 coats and followed by blocking the car, then spray 5 more coats again followed by blocking I should be good to go with paint. This is from local painter shop owner who has been working in the biz for over 40 years.
I am about to start repairing some of the previous repair work that was crap at best (see attached pics). I went over the car and enlarged the pin holes and cracks so that I start repairing them. I noticed that both sides of the car near the end of front fenders both had some repair work done to it. I also noticed that the rear driver's side bonding strip between the cap and fender had separated slightly and was visible under the paint (not original), at first I though someone had keyed the car (before blasting). I enlarged the split so that I could fill it with Kevlar filler.
