Vette(s): #1-1974 L-48 4spd Cp Med Red Metallic/Black deluxe int w/AC/tilt/tele./p/w-p/b/ Am-Fm/map light National/Regional/Chapter NCRS "Top Flight" #2-1985 Bright Red/Carmine Cp.L-98/auto Member: NCRS, NCRS Texas, Corvette Legends of Texas
RED is the only way tuh go!!!

Gotta love it!
"Fish-eyes" happen when there is dirt/grease on the surface of the panel when they skwert the paint, and sometimes when there is moisture in the air lines. The runs can be taken out without re-doing the entire car, but the fish-eyes can't. They go all the way to the surface/primer. It really SUX when that happens, but there is no other way to fix it.
Patience, my good man....sounds like they want it right for ya, and that's rare these days! It's gettin there!
