Hello all!
Just heard from the shop that is redoing the body and paint work on my 69. It seems the body work is just about finished, all the panels, bumpers, grills etc are all aligned and the body should be ready for primer/paint in a short while. Then the shop owner said "but first the body has to be sprayed with a gelcoat". Not wanting to sound ignorant , i didnt ask him about the gelcoat, but what exactly is it?? My car had mostly new panels put on it and i thought you needed the gelcoat only if you stripped the panels down completely. Forgive my lack of knowledge in this area and i would appreciate any explanation on the gelcoat process. On a side note, does anyone have an opinion on my original color "fathom green"??
