Default Awlcraft 2000 paint going on

After 200 hrs of stripping and very little body work. Luckily no damage. Almost ready to spray. Everything is off. One day for the body one day everything else. Starting Tuesday. I’m using awlcraft 2000 Chevy white. I painted 3 boats 2 cars with this and it is a great paint for fiberglass. Designed to be buffed. Can take a beating and still looks amazing.

Boat paint for a vette ... Sounds like a proven product you have experience with. It should be great.

Perhaps the naysayers who eschew diesel truck oil in a vette won't pounce.

Fiberglass paint for fiberglass what a crazy idea. Gel coat for corvettes? Super crazy.

Little late to the party ! Nice job ! Did you use any high build primer ,what was your painting schedule ? 545 sealer then high build then 545 finish primer then Awlcraft 2000 top coat ? Trying to figure out what to use & when to apply ..
Thanks !
