G'Day,
I am about to paint the engine bay and underneath the body soon. I have once again fitted the body to assure of a good fit. ( about four fits and removals ) I keep doing modifications
The body will then be fitted to the chassis and once sorted the exterior will be prepped and painted.
I keep asking different painters about prepping and painting fibreglass bodies and one thing I have noticed that has been a common conclusion is... Don't cook the body after painting. It makes the glass move around and leaves a "wobbly" finish. I am going to paint mine myself so I don't have an oven. I won't be able to prove the "don't cook" theory. The body is quite old so it has settled considerably so it should be pretty stable.
I would like to hear any other opinions on this theory.
