Re: 1982 G1 Body Question
Hi Dave I sure do appreciate your answer on this. I purchased a gallon of car paint but now Im wondering if it will work on it. Thanks again Dave, what would we do if it weren't for these boards.

Re: 1982 G1 Body Question
I put regular car paint made for metal on my G2 and it wouldnt flex causing it pop and crack after a few months. I have 2006 Corvette red on my G16 and it hasnt messed up after a year hard driving. The Corvette paint works better because its made to flex better because Corvettes have so much plastic on them.

You could use Saturn paint as well. They used to be all plastic.

Re: 1982 G1 Body Question
I sure do appreciate everyone help on this. Well todays temp made it up to 60 degrees so I was able to do some work on my G1. Got the seats off the front and rear body off, the floor board rubber is off. The front wheels are off and getting ready to install the 4 inch lift. Hope its nice out tomorrow so I can get the lift on.

Do you have to recover the seats on it? I need to recover mine.

Re: 1982 G1 Body Question
UH, Corvette paint???
Where do you get that? Regular automotive paint is fine for fiberglass and plastic, most cars today have many different materials and the same paint and clear is used on all of it. If prepped properly there shouldn't be a problem. Here is a G1 I recently painted, regular base with urethane clear. The body is fiberglass and the fron cowl is some sort of plastic. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/membe...nished-g1.html Last edited by elksgolfer; 12-10-2007 at 11:42 PM.. Reason: added link |
