Also, it is very difficult to get a smooth finish on a fiberglass body. To do this, Ron sprayed the body with multiple additional gell coats and guide coats and then hand blocked the car to remove all imperfections and get a smooth finish that will not allow the underlying fiberglass to "bleed through".

As mentioned in other posts in this thread, its also important to properly finish the edges of the cockpit around the dash, etc. to get an authentic look. You can see the results of Ron's work here in the following picture.



Note how perfectly blended the rolled areas by the dash and the door edges are executed.

Give Ron a call as he can explain these ideas much better than I can.

Fred, I was and am quite impressed with the paint on your car. I do plan to speak to Ron about the possibility of painting my car.
