I must be old schooling again and thinking about acrylic lacquer. LOL
Even with the new water borne paints by GM, they recommend no covers on their cars for 2-3 months (as per their owners manuals). Hmmm.....
You can rub on the top layer(s) all day long, but the underlying base is still soft and seams on certain covers can leave indentations. Please don't ask me why I know this...
Black looks deep!

I believe the thinking is that the paint's chemicals are being released into the air and a car cover may/will block or inhibit their release into the air as the paint cures. But what do I know.  |

We don't have to fight this battle here. The cover was on just for the drama. The body is in the assembly shop. The amount of dust is very limited. I have always thought that new paint needed to cure out for a couple of months but I'm sure the car will get a professional buff out before it goes anywhere. That is also an excellent cover. It is always a choice between dust on the new paint or potential damage from the cover. If someone touches a dusty car, well you all know the result.

Lookin good Dean.
Why didn't they cut out for the sidepipes before painting? Or am I just not seeing them.
Keep the pics coming.

Street roadster???
That is why I asked if the one pictured above was going to be a Street Roadster. With no sidepipes?

Well, I don't know what to say about that. I would have thought they would have cut the holes before the paint also. We have been pushing so hard for the this car to be finished, maybe it was an oversight. I will give them a call tomorrow at the shop. I believe they are working on it this weekend. What ever the outcome, I'm sure it will be right when I pick it up this week. I will say the when I did a BDR last winter for a guy I had to use my grinder with a paddle wheel to reshape the opening for the side pipes and you couldn't tell I had done the work.

Dean,
Met Mike and Steve at the Texas Cobra Club meet in San Marcos Texas this weekend. Got to spend a couple minutes with them out at the airport when the group was getting a picture of their cars. Rest of the time was racing and cruising and I had to come home tonight for a commitment tomorrow. Think they enjoyed themselves and they met a bunch of Hurricane owners...

Here is a shot of the car at the body shop before the clear. You can see in this shot that the side pipe holes are not cut.
