Just saw this thread. Hope you are on the mend Dub. Bending over and working on these cars can put a hurting on even a perfectly healthy strong back.
A few months back I asked your advice on a painting issue : https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1598074061
The old paint was solid, no blisters, peeling etc. The car was 100% garage kept. I hand-sanded the clear coat carefully until most of the "pin holes" were gone and the ones left were very shallow. I scrubbed the car good with Pine sol and then pressure washed with just water. Waited a couple weeks to make sure everything was dry, wiped it all down with degreaser twice, went over it with tack cloth. I gave it two coats of the factory original Mulsanne Blue followed by three coats of clear. All in all it came out looking purty good. Not perfect, I know where the flaws are, but the average non professional observer would have to look hard to find them. Thank you again, for taking the time to give me some of your hard earned advice.

Glad to hear he's on the mend, I messed my back up bad couple of years ago and pushed it too hard too soon. Lemme tell you that the second time hurts much worse than 1st time... So take nice and easy on the back Dub.

I think for those who speak to Dub it appears he's pretty busy right now with work and his life. Responding to all the questons posted is a full time job as well as doing the same stuff for a living. Not his agent but I think he just wants a timeout from the way he works on the forum trying to help eveyone. Just taking a break I would say.

Dub has helped me so much. I have depended on what he taught RVZIO so I wouldn't bother him with repetitive questions.

Late to the party. I was just looking through the paint section of the forum looking for posts from Dub and realized I didn't see any, then found this thread. I can't explain the gratitude I have for Dub, someone I've never met gave me the advise I needed. I owe all my success with paint and fiberglass work on my Corvette to Dub.
It's been a few years, but Dub if you see this I just wanted to thank you again. Hope you're all healed up by now, cheers.

I miss all of Dub's advice. I would love to take my car to him for the body work. I asked him a few years ago but he was super busy. If he said yes I would have it there the same day!!!
