Default Corvette painting

This article was in the April 2007 Corvette Enthusiast pg 62...it is a very good guide for dealing with paint shops and goes into some detail on first stages of prep....(this article is Part One)...I am unable to scan copy,but good idea to get the April issue and the May part two issue on this topic if you have not ever had your vette painted before..
