    Thanks, guys. I was starting to think I didn't know how to run a primer gun anymore.

    I've already blocked the gelcoat with 80, primed and blocked with 120, primed and blocked with 320, now I'll just hit it again with 400, then 600 and get ready to make it yellow.

    The only problem with this is that all of the raised body moldings on a '34 are a PITA to get at and sand smooth without cutting grooves in either the body or the molding.

    I have used polyester primers before but on steel. Realy had no problems but we did sand the entire body several times. The paint was Glasarot I think thats the spelling its made in Germany. That is the most forgiving paint I ever used but you have to go by the book step by step.
