The stellar primer paint job on the buggy turned out to be a real turd. It started peeling right away and was kind of elastic. The pan also has rust holes so I decided to just get going on it and pulled the body off which took less than 30 minutes.

Last week I stripped and sanded it. As I took it apart I discovered that someone previously cut out the fiberglass for the rear seat an up the backrest. Gives you great access but the body gets pretty flexy.

The pics show that area is now set up to re-glass with several layers of sturdy cardboard to act as a mold. I ordered a roll of heavy fiberglass mat and some resin and need to tackle that today.

There were several layers of paint and primer over the original gel coat, which was also shot. It all came off pretty easy and I’m down to the original yellow finish.

Any suggestions on the color (paint, not gel coat)? Yellow could work but bright red maybe?
