that looks like a profesional downdraft booth. have the painter sand it. unless the booth was rented, then actually if you preped and painted it you can color sand it, it is not hard. good luck

did you do the paint?
If so - too bad you live in N Alabama or I may have hit you up to do the black on my '79 when I get ready.
I hope I can find a shop a little closer than 5 hours away.
Post some pics when you get her outside

I decided to do my '82 in the same C6 blue after seeing it at the Chevrolet C6 display. I took of a boat load of the C6 with this blue due to the color.
Looks GREAT, can't wait to see the photos of it polished and outdoors. Please post.
