1984 Corvette!! Help Anyone!!
I Have Just Came Across A 1984 Corvette, I Have Been Doing Bodywork And Painting About 20 Years, But Have Never Done A Corvette, First, Someone Stripped The Car Of Paint And Repainted, Well The Paint Is Just Bubbling Up In Areas,not Stress Cracks Just Lifting. I Think They May Have Stripped The Gel Coat Off, I Know I Will Have To Strip It With Fiberglass Stripper. But What About The Gel Coat??how Do You Apply, And Also Where Would You Even Purchase Gelcoat From, Any Ideas Or Thoughts Or Help Would Greatly Be Appreciated, Thanks , Mike.

Gel coat can be purchased at any industrial fiberglass location.

re:84 vette help
Gotta go along with Barry on this one , 84 & newer Vettes weren't made out of the "old" type fiberglass . They are some other type of " composite "plastic material . Requires a whole different approach to repair ANY body panels on this car . I don't remember even being able to get fiberglass repair resin to stick real well to this stuff . Any body else ever have any luck ???

I have seen people use fiberglass resin to fix spots on the newer models and it makes no sense to me at all as the materials are totally different.
Proper way would be using Duramix, Sem, 3M, or Fuzor dual cartage repair systems. |
