Bye, Bye Grey Primer

It's been a long time, with the first media blasting done 14 years ago, and the grey primer seeing duty in two Corvette caravans, several open road races, three moves and three job changes, but it's time to go. Ron finished the wet sanding today, and the crew rolled her into the paint booth to say goodbye to life in primer and say hello to life in color again. The car left the factory Ermine White, though not clear if the coves were painted. It saw numerous other colors over the years including blue, yellow, brown, light metallic green, and white again. Now it's finally time to see Red. Ron expects to paint the car tomorrow after just a bit more masking and prep.

 Here she is rolled in the booth and set up on jackstands.

Masking off the firewall. Deck lid hinges were down when the glovebox and trunk were sprayed, so trunk hinges down this time and deck lid hinges up.

 Masking off the interior.
