    i have a question. on a fibergl*** body- after flaking . how long should the flash times be in between coats of clear ? also - how long do you wait to sand the couple of coats of clear to even and smooth over the cleared flake to apply the final coats of clear on?? -- goufos:eek:

    ok- i live in white water ca. near palm springs- just a grocery store night crew stocker- building my dream 23 t bucket roadster. i too did own a 64 comet, wish i still had it. went out and bought a begining spirit kit- . got the frame done with a real heavy gold hollowgraphic metal flake. boy these powder coating co. dont like doing that heavy of flake. but i found one who did a great job. i am 56 and holding- its going to take me a long time to finish it because im doing it a little at a time.-and im going to try to paint it myself- and have never did that before!!-----------------------------goufos :eek:
