even MORE garage painting!, jims st-205 riser blocks filled and painted Options

[presure2]

after jim had everything up here for his swap a few weeks ago, he found a set of 205 riser blocks from the same guy he got his clip from, so he snagged them up, and sent them up for me to shave the GT-4 off, and paint.

here are some pics.

first, i filled the gt4 writing with "marglass" fiberglass reinforced body filler.



once that was sanded:



then, went over that with some chromalite body filler and sanded it out:



then primer, sealer, basecoat, clearcoat.

great job manny. i got a Q though.

i was told if you spray the clear right after there is a risk of the clear peeling off really fast??? true or false
or does it depend on the type of paint used. i was told to wait a minimum of 5 days after base spray date to put the clear on
but i never got around to doing the clear yet because i wanted my gold pearl in

ive never heard anything like that...what brand/type of paint are you using?

im using dupont "chromabase"



its flash time is 10-15 minutes.
once its "flashed off" (hand slick to the touch) you clear over it.

:edit:
looking at pics of your car, it already has a shine to it, did you use a single stage paint as your base, then are planning to clear over that?
i could see waiting a while if that was the plan, to allow the single stage to fully "gas out"
