Re: Single stage paint?Looking for experienced advice: Short and to the point details: 2010 GT500, performance white Car was wrecked and poorly rep
Uhhhhh... maybe I slept through history class (which BTW was always my favorite) and missed it. But say... WHEN EXACTLY did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor?
That'd be the Japanese!
@ the OP.
Quick and direct = get it painted.
Did you peel the wrap off?
Taking it that the black spray was *under* the wrap?
Hate to say it, but by the time you've SANDED an entire color layer off, you'll eat through any clear coat that's beneath it.
And yeah... that should be a BC/CC paint. ;-)

I appreciate all the input. A local body shop swears it's a single stage, that's why I asked. Trying laquer thinner today and will post the results
Thanks

Really it's not going to hurt to try getting through the spray paint, it's just a lot of time to sink into a project if it doesn't pan out at the end.

I think it's time to admit defeat. The outside paint laughed at laquer thinner and didn't budge. It did wipe off in the door jamb though. The door jam also revealed scratches underneath that must be their "prep" work before spray painting the car. The same scratches are on the spoiler.
Waiting for a huge shipment from Tasca for the front end. Then yanking the motor and getting it to the frame shop to replace the radiator support and make sure it's straight. Then I'll need to see how much more money I can spare and decide what to do about the paint.
So what's the ballpark for a full respray? I'll strip the entire car down to the shell.
Thanks

Probably depends on your area. If you had it fully stripped ready to go and they only need to skim some areas with filler, in my area for a reputable great painter it would ballpark 5-6000 for nothing special. But there are lots of guys around here that do really good work around 2-3000.
You could get a garage and hop in on the learning curve and make a project out of painting it yourself if interested though.

I saw all the posts on SVTPerformance with guys telling you to wrap it. Glad you're not thinking along those lines. Not a Shelby! It's an awesome car. I know, I've got an '09. Do it right.
