I am in the process of stripping my 69 down to the fiberglass to repaint.  There are a mulitude of pits in the fiberglass.  Is this normal?  I will be filling the pits with body filler, shooting on a gel coat, then painting using the paint system from Sherwin-Williams to include the primer, base coat-clear coat.    Thanks for any help.

The clear coat will look good and your paint will last longer. StarStar

Thanks guys.  If my car turns out as well as Terry's I will be a very happy man.   That is one awsome Vette.
