Black paint on fiberglass

[donsrods]

Bo Jones little orange modified was very cool. I always loved it too. What did he have in it, a Chevy four banger, wasn't it?

I haven't had any issues with black paint on fiberglass. You just need to spend extra time on body prep.

That's right don. A '62 Chevy II 153 cu. in. 4 cyl. w/ 'glide. He was quoted as saying "Traffic had a hard time keeping up with him." He later built another one. This one was white and orange. But the orange and red one is the icon as far as I'm concerned.

I painted my first one black without a thought about what could happen and lucky for me I had no problem that I ever saw. It stayed in the sun as much as it needed to. As for as the "pesky" onlookers we must all remember to be nice to the younger generation to help keep these cars around and it never hurts if they happen to be very attractive.

My previous T has a speedway body, built around 12/1998. Its been black since 2/2000 and no problems that I know of. Maybe some spider cracking but thats about it.
