I had some problems with the primer cratering so it was sanded out a few times. I even used first wash before I sanded. The car was painted with emron paint inthe 70'S. So a had a good base to start from.

Great job, what paint and primers did you choose, water base? California is really forcing the water base paints today.

no i did not use any water based, I used the dupont priemer sealer and 2K primer I think. The paint was dupont chromopriemer with the 7500 high glamor clear.
