yup! That's a shame! Alot of beautiful paint jobs end up that way. That's "crazing", caused by the glass and paint expanding and contracting, from heat and cold, at different rates. To avoid this, a flex agent should be added to the paint if it is not manufactured with it already, I always add a little just for S&G. Be sure to add it to all the paint including any matched primers and sealers. Most people just add it to the color and end up redoing it later wondering why it happened again. for-shame! for-shame!

The light's still on Dave, just waitin' for ya to show up at the home shop. LOL!

Ahhhh, the Oh so familiar agony of a 'Vette owner - "I'll get to drive it soon...."

We all suffer from that!
