Yeah…that guy painted a vette once. LolShould be fine so long as it is properly supported on a body cart. @ksungela should be able to provide some advice.
Car is complete and running...not driving tho...the old paint job is showing its age..looking at it I see some waves that could be old work or natural moving of gaps and flexing...I don't do many cars for friends but might make an exception for this one..just curious what I would be getting into...I have no problem turning it down..I'm not in the business.Fiberglass never quite stops moving, but the older it gets, the more stable it is. It's probably a good idea to let the completed bodywork sit in the sun for a good while before final blocking and paint, though the OP does not state what stage this 'Vette is at.
Lost your "backyard hack" credentials awhile back . . .I painted this car on this body cart. It went back together fine. This is SPI epoxy on the stripped body.

Is that why you left New Jersey? Are you in a painter protection program?You never know what's underneath the paint on any car. Sounds like the car needs to be stripped first. If the body is undamaged then its strong enough to paint on a cart like Don did. That's how I do mine. Any repairs or new panels should sit in the hot sun a few weeks to fully cure, then you should be good to proceed with the painting process.
My list of "friends" grew when people found out I paint cars. Be careful.

Friends don't expect friends to work for slave wages. Nowadays when it comes to this I have no friends.You never know what's underneath the paint on any car.

I'm only considering this because I never done a corvette..even in my old age,I still like challenges. If they are silly enough to let me learn on their dime, I might try..no slave wages here tho..they gonna pay if they wanna see the monkey dance. Totally agree with friend conclusion tho...Friends don't expect friends to work for slave wages. Nowadays when it comes to this I have no friends.
