Yes I want it done.. I can't stand my shop cluttered with parts. And I'm a restless soul.

1 1/2 Year ago I painted in a tent. I used "Eastwood sgl stage urethane" Boulevard black. It was only about $100.00 for the paint. You get what you pay for. I wet sanded and buffed and it looked pretty good. From 2 feet you could see where I sanded out the bugs/etc. Then 6 mths ago I start to get what I called solvent pops. Very small freckles showing in the paint.Like little blisters. Then some bubbles grew. I am, now stripping all the paint down, and starting over. I'm not going to paint it this time. I'm going to hire it out. I want a base clear sys this time and I'm just not equipt to do this at home. I paint all my bikes and have no probs,but the car is too much.
People who have hired out paint, How did you decide who to use? I plan to block sand it out to 400 grit then have whoever finish it to 600. I don't want any excuses from them that my work was in question after the paint is on.

It's always a good thing when you have connects to a body shop better than the insane prices most shops estimate

Anyone ever put a 96 Corvette suspension under a 78 Camaro?
