The Prophet

the car is now in the body shop/paint booth getting shaved, moulded and painted... i just wanna know if its reccommended to get the car undercoated after painting it or if i should wait a while... not sure about how much time i need to let the paint fully cure...

i know ur not supposed to wash it for like a week after painting but any time on undercoating???

i was told to wait a couple weeks so the paint is 100% cured. but i was getting the oil rust proofing from crown, under coating alone is probably a different story

The Prophet

accually i was meaning the oil rust proofing... its too early, lol

but ya i was going to talk to Crown about it cause i heard they do good work...

so a couple weeks eh??

The Prophet

well, the door mouldings are shaved and the sides are moulded in... i just got back from the shop and shes looking pretty good

when do you get it back Brad? And when are you coming to the meet for us to see it ??

Brett

where are you having the work done?

The Prophet

the work is being done at a friends shop... he does paint and accually has his own booth in his barn...

ill be comming to a meet in TO hopefully in a week and a half... i dont wanna drive it much for about a week to make sure everything is cured...

and just a question, what does a body man make per hour??

Brett

my buddy charges $55, but im not sure what he makes being that he owns his own shop!

Brett

my buddy charges $55, but im not sure what he makes being that he owns his own shop! at least that whet i think he charges my memory is not the best

The Prophet

What colour is the car going to be?

My advice is to get it undercoated after the paint has cured...like Dave said....I didn't get my car undercoated after I had my body work done..and its starting to rust and its only been about two years.
