I own a '71 C3 vette that was a basket case when I bought it. I have slowly been restoring and am now up to body work and prepping for paint. Anyone have any direction as to whether or not it is a good idea to take the body down to the glass in preparation for paint? Also, I have been using Dynatron Dynaglass to do body repairs. Has anyone had bad results with using the Dynaglass? anyone with comments/suggestions? :chevy

Here's a good starting point by Lars from the corvettefaq site, there are others on painting there so check it out.

Yes I would strip it down to bare glass. Why put expensive paint on top of an old unstable surface? As far as Dynaglass, I would not use it to repair cracks. I would only use resin and mat. Good Luck on your job. Craig :cheers:

definitely strip it down to the glass...if you want your body to looks smooth, do body work on the seams...this totally helps a killer paint job stand out.
