Default Are there any good web sites on how to prep and paint a corvette ?

Anyone have a good web site on this subject ? Thanx for any help yall can give me. I'm getting close to being ready to prime it. Will the sanding ever be done. :crazy:
P.S. so far looks like 69 Daytona yellow is the color of choice.

Go to CorvetteFQA and print off the paper by lars on Corvette painting. You can see a few pics on my web site. Good Luck.

For general bodywork and paint information, I have found http://www.autobodystore.com/ to have the best Q&A bulletin board. I have diagnosed orange peel and HVLP setup thru them with great success. They are knowledgable and quick to reply. Joe

Outside of bodywork (fiberglass) corvette prep and paint is the same as anyother car...pretty much just the body work techniques/materials differ.

Here are 2 good ones....I referred to these often...I also have a link to the Lars paper on my website which was very good.

good luck!
