Body, bed, grill shell and sanded and primed ... well sorta. I started out with the idea of using bc\cc. The body was sanded and primered with lacquer high build and then sanded down with 400 to get glass smooth, ready for paint. Then I changed my mind and instead of bc\cc I decided to go with single stage urethane. I checked and rechecked every source I could think of about being able to shoot urethane over lacquer primer ... some said yes if I shoot a sealer over it first, others said absolutely no.
I called a friend of mine that paints airplanes (real ones, not toys)and all he said is "do you want to take the chance?" ... he said lacquer 'never' fully cures and with the car sitting in a hot sun, all bets are off. He said you got a 70% chance it will be OK, but then there is the other 30%.
Lacquer primer is coming off. Got the bed, grill and door done in about 3 hours and the body will get done tomorrow. Total set back about 8 hours, but peace of mind.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
