Thanks for all the links, One follow up question, What do you use for the guide coat? Just a different color of Primer?

Please be patient with my ignorance. Like I said before, I have only been a grunt in the body shop. Can do rough stuff, never did much finish work. Please explain the "guide coat". And about the AE reacting with the bc/cc, that was one of my concerns. I am hoping someone on this board will have some input. The guy at my local PPG store is kinda rude. Gives very short and non helpful answers. Thanks for any input. Jeff

To me it seemed silly spraying bc/cc onder trunk lids, door jams etc. Thats my motivation. I just figured while I was spraying these areas, I could "check" a few of my body work areas. I am not good enough at bodywork to find all my flaws until I top coat. Then its too late. I sure dont want to wait months so if thats the case, no way. Any other suggestions????

Okay guys, need some info. I have been around paint and body quite a bit in my life but only as a helper (grunt). I now wish I had paid more attention when I was a kid. I am panting my 76 280. I plan on using PPG base/clear for the top coat. (dodge viper Yellow) I need to paint the door jams, under hood, etc first. I was thinking of just using cheap old PPG acrylic enamel in these areas. I would also like to shoot some of this paint on a few body panels that I have done body work on to see how good or bad they will look when finished. Then, if good, bring on the base clear system for final coat. Will this give me troubles, is there a specific cure time for the enamel before I could go back to work? Would I need to prime the enamel again before top coating? Soo many questions, soo few brain cells. If it matters, I am using PPG DZ3 laquer primer. Thanks Jeff Hickl

pardon my ignorance but what is an "illumina" and a "boge"?

Are we talkin $210.00 total for both sides?? I am interested, tell me more. Any mods to do or is it a bolt up??

Thanks for the info, can you buy stiffer springs without going to the coilover system. I have heard people talk about spacers in the coil springs. I am not ready to spend the coilover money, but I want to raise the back. Are there any other options???

Hey guys, I am new to the Z scene. Just bought a 76 28o. The rear end sags as I have noticed a lot of older Zs do. When I take off or hit second gear it feels like the muffler will hit the ground. Whats the best (reasonably cost effective way) to fix this. Are the struts shot or is this normal. Please help. I need it to handle pretty decent, plan to eventually drop in V8. Thanks
