What color is the gel coat?
My 69 is about ready for primer. I scraped most the old paint off with a razor blade. Funny that it took off all the old paint and it's primer. But left a much harder lighter colored grey primer behind, Hardly even nicked it. Is this the original primer? I had to sand the car in many spots to remove some of the hard to get paint. I sanded right down to a black/charcoal colored surface. When wet you can see small fibers in the surface. But it's very hard and tough. Not easy to sand into this black area. Is this the gel coat? Or did i go tooo far
Is there a particular way to prep that stuff before primer? Or is there a particular type of primer i should use? I have never removed this many layers on any vette i've painted in the past. All new to me. Any ideas?
