Bob,

Did you apply 2 coats of Rejex back to back ? According to the instructions you should wait at least 12 hours before applying the 2nd coat. This gives Rejex a curing time to bond to your paint.

Default Dialup Death

Here are the much anticipated and long awaited pics of my 98. I would recommend this process to anybody with a white vette or with a white vehicle. The paint looks like its going to drip off of the car after 5 coats of Rejex it should. I would like to thank the vendors and members on the forum for supplying me with superb products and information to help make the finish on my vette the best it can be. Now I just need to fix several stone chips on the front nose and I will be good to go. Thanks and enjoy the pics!









And one final pic of the engine bay!
