Just wondering b.c i will be painting soon.

Are you going to take ur front and rear bumper off ?

Also the mirrors, door handles.

AND weather stripping on door , rear hatch ?

Just wondering, I am nervous about the window flopping around while there is no weather stripping.

in reference as to what was the paint....it was Sherwin williams "ultra" series with sherwin williams primer underneath. Base coat clear coat paint.

And, we have taken the front end off, the running boards, door handles, mirrors, all rubber moldings, rear glass and after I deliver it to the paint shop we will be taking the doors off. The painter said it was not necessary to remove the rear end....I plan to paint under the hood also.

Very nice , but I'd just call it Red, Mitsubishi just doesn't sound right on a vette.
