Default I Got Paint!!!**pics**

Here are a few pics I took right after I got it home. I spent the next night putting the rest of the trim on and I still have to wash it. As soon as I do I will post more pics.

Does Gary do fiberglass repair?

Thanks again everyone!

Rocketman50- yes he does. He had to “rebuild” three out of the four fenders on my car. He’s got over 30 years experience with vettes. His number is (817) 226-6010, but he is out of town for Thanksgiving.

Rose- lol, thanks :lol:

Mike69- it’s single stage. It was cheaper than base/clear, I can sand out scratches easily, and it is pretty tough. I can’t remember the brand name, but it was fairly expensive.
