Dreammaster,
I know of your writings! Glad to meet you sir! Now I'd like to meet you in person someday.

I too have talked to Tom at some length on his problem. Tom, if you do have the car refinished and it is done right, from the base up it should never repeat itself. The days of the painter adding reducers/thinners to a gallon of paint on a whim, sticking a stir stick in the paint and pulling it out to see how thin or thick it is just doesn't get it anymore! He almost has to be a mathematician; lets see...4:1:1 1/2, or is it 2:1:1 1/2: ? Certainly part chemist and of course 99% learned in the black magic of laying it down!

"Double Venom" was seven years young when it was raffeled off last year, raced all over the mid-west in all types of racing and was still fine enough to win first place trophy's where ever she went. Not bragging, just a point that if it's done right, a Cobra or streetrod paint job should last for many, many years.

Proper equipment, and proper procedures. In Tom's case I really think it boils down to either "to much/to quick", or simply moisture in the airlines when it was sprayed.
