Depending on how the paint was removed, there may be paint stripper residue trapped under the paint.

My '77 was repainted about 10 years ago when my step dad owned it. My paint is bubbled/pimpled from trapped stripper. :rolleyes:

The exposed/cleaned fiberglass has to "breathe" , ie. vapors must evoporate before being repainted.
