Re-Paint
I completed a frame off restoration about five years ago on my 1961. It was a complete frame off and the body was striped, repaired and painted, I used PPG Duracyrl lacquer.
I intend to repaint the 61 with the same products and would like recommendations on how to prep the body prior to paint. I plan on block sanding the entire car, make the small repairs to the fiberglass that have shown up since the restoration and then repaint.
Any advise would be appreciated!
