$100 Lesson Learned
Right now I'm painting an SRT10 hood and Dodge Daytona ground effects for my Ram. I shot the running boards and hood scoop insert with the black base coat the other day and they looked great. Well...until I went back to look at them after a while. The paint wrinkled on me. I thought it was from the "prep all" not drying, but when I talked to the paint guy he said it was from not letting the primer dry enough before I shot another coat.
So I had to sand and reshoot which cost more money for pain and clear. I know that its not Pontiac related, but I wanted to let everyone know. I'll be paying more attention to the flash times now  I'll see if I can get some pics posted soon. Other than shooting epoxy on my goat, this is the first time painting for me. Jeff

I reshot the base yesterday and cleared them today. They turned out good this time. I can't wait to be done with this little project.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
