I had a major set back. The paint on my cage came off all over when I removed my blue tape. Huge chunks came off so it has to be repainted and I have to remove everything again. Hopefully I can get the hydrodipped panels off without me9them up.
its all over the cage and all needs to be redone.

I wanted some options on it before I pursued a talk with the painter. It was a big kick in the balsa because I have to take everything a part again. It will be on hold a while because I cant do wiring or interior till it gets painted.

That sucks about the paint on cage. That's a lot work to redo and keep the surrounding areas paint and damage free. Painter needs fix it, it's all in prep. I've done many cages including my 25.2 that was just certified. These CM tubes are coated with oil when made, they need repeated cleaning with wax grease remover then scotchbrite then more wax grease remover...never had problem with aerosol cans or BC/CC jobs.

Agreed, The paint is a bigger deal than most things. It might keep me from hitting the track this year. The painter pulled my spot I had been waiting on. So, I will have to find another and wait in line.

I don’t mean to sound critical but if I had a car as capable as yours will be paint wouldn’t be stopping me from enjoying it.

I had everything lined up just got shafted. Painters are the worst followed by chassis builders.

if they can’t any automotive paint supplier worth their salt will have a paint scanner. They can use it to read the paint in several locations on the cage or another more easily detached body panel. Then match it with an easy to spray diy product.
