I'm still shopping for paint jobs and I came across a fresh water glass boat repairer who does a huge volume. His outfit started on Vettes in the 70's and his "over the phone max and min" seem ok (3500-5k, he still wants to see the car of course). I used to inspect fiberglass boats and don't see a trap, but I am new to the game. Am I looking for trouble?
Greg.
PS She needs to be ground and filled a bit, too, but this is the usual for boats, anyway, this is my first vette.

Greg,
Having absolutely no clue as to boats, and or car painting, my only thoughts are that boats are made of fiberglass, and they're finish is usually very smooth and even. At least they should know how to work with fiberglass, since you claim they've been working on Vette since the 70's, and if they have a good reputation, I would take a shot. Hope it all works out for you. Let us know how it goes.

I'm sure he can work the fiberglass/gelcoat/filling. But wonder about the different finishes used between boats to cars. He might not be up to date on the new auto paint/primer systems.

I would query the boatyard about the type of paint he intends to use and then ask around about the pro's and con's of this type paint. Seems like most boats these days are repainted with either a linear or two-part polyurethane. I've heard great things about these paints on boats but have no idea how it work on a car. I'm sure this type of paint might help prevent any osmotic blistering if you choose to leave your vette in the water year-round.
That said, I probably wouldn't trust our baby in the hands of any boatyard I've used lately.

When painting the front and rear urethane bumpers,must these be masked off and shot with flexing agents added to the clear coat?
