Q1. Has anyone used the urethane bc/cc kits from tcpglobal.com’s restoration shop?
“Not me sorry” 🙂
Q2. Should I strip the paint off completely or just take the clear off and scuff the paint up?
“paint that is still good can be sanded with 400 grit , just to give the new paint a tooth , for adhesion.” 🙂
Q3. What paint would you recommend?
“lots to choose from , bc/cc of what ever brand is easiest for you to obtain and use” :unsure: B)

I figured it at 50+ hours ….just under sixty ….. but to tell the truth the cut and buff was some what of a throw in :whistle: Kinda wanted to insure I do their next one and a local performance shop. It was good advertising …. gotta factor certain non job related factors in some times. :pcorn: WHAT ARE YOU GETTING OUT OF IT …. was great experience for my workers also. next one will be a breeze and I’ll ask for more B)
you get paid for what it should take not how long it take …. and the factor for that caculation comes after you’ve done it 3 times ….. “how long would it take you the fourth time. 😉 :pcorn:
we recieved the cobra sorta in primer and then finished/fine tuned the body work , and worked all the body gaps. reprimed blocked it twice and then painted it with stripes and cut and buffed for $6000 and that was almost alittle low :unsure:
