Well, I haven't gotten too far. Right now my body is off and my rear
suspension dismantled, front suspension will happen today (anyone evernotice
how much easier this is with a good impact wrench) I spent the afternoon
yesterday getting answers and gathering questions at the local Sherwin
Williams Automotive Paint Store. They were instructing me to use a self
etching primer, then a urethane primer coat, and then a top coat with clear
coat over that. Their paints are acrylic urthane finishes. Does anyone
know how many layers of these it will take? Does this sound good/right to
anyone. Thanks Patrick Bowen

Gentlemen,
Being about to remove the body from my '66 MkII I'm interested in how you
are making out with the paint, etc Patrick.
Keith, you and I are almost neighbors, I'm near Rochester, NY
Cheers,
Jim

If you are able to apply the paint while the surface is still tacky, what
about POR-15? If it hardens, it is impossible to sand for painting later.
