What do you recommend for a car that needs to be stripped all the way down to fiberglass what’s the best impression soda walnut I got 58 Corvette that I’m doing now

@EYEBALLJOHNsKUSTOMKORNER 2 күн бұрын

Soda blast is the way to go for stripping paint, if you don't want to do it yourself,

First of all thank you for all the beautiful work you put out into the world and for the informative videos you have shared on youtube! I am doing a repair, and repaint on a 72 stingray... I am a little unclear if I should be using the polyester or the SMC resin.. Can you clarify on which side of the fence the 72 lands? THANK YOU! -Porsha

Hey John, great video. I'm having trouble with tiny holes-maybe from trapped air. I'm working on the bottom side of the front fender so upside down before I attack topside damage. I'm using the polyester resin and 3/4 oz mat. After I sand with 60 grit, I can see these pits filled with the white dust. I colored the resin gray. I can sand them out but it seems I'm then sanding off all my work. They're about 1/32 inch deep.

Hi, Glad you liked the video, it sounds like you have air bubbles trapped in the resin, it happens, try and work them out with the brush or use a fiberglass roller to break them up, it akso depends on the resin your using, some resins are thicker then others and trap more air, I use a very thin polyester resin but buy from a supplier that sells to boat yards, Hope this Helps, Thanks for watching.

Can Nason acrylic primer reduced with lacquer thinner be used under acrylic enamel single stage on corvettes? Or will it seep into the fiberglass substrate and bubble the topcoat paint later on? I use it all the time on steel cars and Never have an issue. I have only painted 2 Corvettes, and on 1 I did get a couple bubbles/blisters, just not sure if it was because of the Lacquer thinner in the primer. And on that one I non chemically stripped it down. I currently own 3 Corvette convertibles a 1975, 1987 and a 2002 that all need paint. On my 02 I have some of the fiberglass around the edge of the doors starting to show. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi, I haven’t used lacquer primer in quite a while, even if a customer wants there car painted in lacquer paint I still use polyester primer first then urethane primer on top of that then lacquer paint, lacquer primer will not hold down the fibers in the fiberglass and will eventually shrink and show up in your paint work, and as far as top coats go I use urethane paints they last much longer then lacquer or enamel paints, Hope this helps, Thanks for watching my videos

@ricksteelcustoms3196 it depends, are there hairs from the glass showing? That would need more work, if its just worn out and faded then sand with 180 grit and use polyester primer to seal the fiberglass then use your urethane primer

Eyeball John, I really like your videos! I am 62-years old. I have never done fiberglass repair, but I just bought a poor-condition 1967 Lotus Elan. It has a fiberglass body. I plan to use your techniques to repair its body this Summer. I’m planning to build a rotisserie for the body to save my back. I noticed you back up the trim and drain holes with masking tape and glass over them. Do you purposely fill the holes to redrill them later? Also, if you are leaving bare fiberglass underneath a restored Corvette, what grit sandpaper do you stop sanding with? In other words, how smooth do you leave the ‘glass? How smooth was the fiberglass underneath from the factory? I ask because the Lotus fiberglass finish underneath the car seems really rough and I’m not sure how to duplicate that and I don’t want to smooth it out, if it was rough from the factory. Please keep the videos coming. We dig your work in So. Cal. Hey, I met “Big Daddy” Ed Roth once at a car show. He was so nice and humble! Did he name you because you had, “a good eye?”

@TheTrinityguy 6 ай бұрын

You did not show the most critical step. Where and how deep you are grinding and tapering down the door skin before doing your glass work? I was also hoping we would see you completely remove the old woven cloth that always shows through a nice paint job on a sunny day like on 53-54 cars that utilized woven cloth instead of glass mat like you are correctly using. Were you referring to Gene McKinney, Lake City, Seattle?

He said the releasing agent needs sanded but formula changed in bowling green for the 80s c3s and c4s. And you can't do it with those.
