    Paint Question (typical)

    Hi All,

    I have not posted in while. Working with a local painter on body prep.

    Completed all the fit/alignment while the body was on the frame. Decided to remove before painting with spray poly.

    Thinking of returning back to the frame for block sanding prior to final primer and paint.

    My painter and I are going back/forth about completing the final paint with the body on (he wants to keep it on, I would like to paint it off).

    I know there are a equal numbers in the body on camp vs the body off camp …

    Just curious to hear from the body off camp, if there is any concern with paint cracking when flexing the body on the reinstall ?

    Is there anything in the in the prep or paint that can help to avoid.

    Not a paint guy so any input is appreciated.

    Thanks
