Sigh, Wish I could say the same about my bare-metal respray. Overall,
looks okay (from about 10 feet) but the paint has blistered in places
where I think there was moisture in the primer (not a big problem in AZ,
I imagine) There was apparently crud lodged between fenders and rocker
panels, and recesses in the rear fenders, and rust has set in (the usual
roadster-rot places) The car was repainted in North Hollywood CA , cost
about $3000.00 and I did all the chrome-removal, footwork, etc. Still
looks okay from 10 feet though ;-)
