I'm still shopping for paint jobs and I came across a fresh water glass boat repairer who does a huge volume.  His outfit started on Vettes in the 70's and his "over the phone max and min" seem ok (3500-5k, he still wants to see the car of course).  I used to inspect fiberglass boats and don't see a trap, but I am new to the game.  Am I looking for trouble?

Greg,

 I'm sure he can work the fiberglass/gelcoat/filling. But wonder about the different finishes used between boats to cars. He might not be up to date on the new auto paint/primer systems.

I would query the boatyard about the type of paint he intends to use and then ask around about the pro's and con's of this type paint.  Seems like most boats these days are repainted with either a linear or two-part polyurethane.  I've heard great things about these paints on boats but have no idea how it work on a car.  I'm sure this type of paint might help prevent any osmotic blistering if you choose to leave your vette in the water year-round.

So, If I can make sure that he' s using the right paints and procedures, it should be ok...We'll have to sit down.

When painting the front and rear urethane bumpers,must these be masked off and shot with flexing agents added to the clear coat?
