Stringer stripe on 67 Corvette

[Guest]

A corvette that been painted Arctic Lacquer and the stinger stripe were painting on at the factory with your finger could you feel the stinger paint along with the Car Arctic lacquer , i understand with a BB coat paint the clear would be spray on and with your finger you wouldn,t feel the stinger paint and would be smooth

What is Arctic lacquer? Acrylic lacquer, maybe?

Re: Stringer stripe on 67 Corvette

Danny, by Arctic lacquer do you mean acrylic lacquer? By BB do you mean base clear which might be shortened to BC while BB is usually used for big block?

I say this not to criticize but in an effort to help us both. Between the broken English and the misuse of terms your posts are a challenge to understand. They could result in answers based on misinterpreted questions. Resulting in frustration.

Maybe you could enlist the help of a friend to proof read and help edit your question prior to posting?

I completely agree . Don't take this the wrong way Danny , But the majority of your questions are difficult to understand therefore making it hard to help you.

Re: Stringer stripe on 67 Corvette

Respectfully, I guess, what sense does it make to shorten the term basecoat clear coat to BB when there is only one B in the string of words?

I live in Canada and where I live BB is sometimes used as a short form for big block. Has been for many years. I've found it to be universal across the country and the U.S.

The paint you refer to as "Basic coat clear coat" and claim is Canadian jargon is news to me. The term is base/clear or two stage in every day understandable english.

What part of Canada are you located?

Re: Stringer stripe on 67 Corvette

Good morning Greg
great to see you chipping in on the DB. In my opinion, the comments in this thread have been the most gentle, helpful comments I've observed in a while on an Internet forum. In no way has anyone been hard on him. I've also found his posts to be quite difficult to comprehend and I thought all of us will be able to be more helpful in the future if he writes with a touch more clarity. So, I applaud the tone and content of all the posts in this thread.
Hope to see you and your 66 again soon at some event.

Re: Stringer stripe on 67 Corvette

Getting back to the stinger paint. Most any BB restoration today with the stinger application is total misrepresentation of what the GM workers actually put on the cars. But the finishes for the most part are of the same misrepresentation so don't be concerned about something so trivial as the your finger detecting the stripe. B/C just does not go undetected if one knows what he is looking at.

Nobody even mentioned anything about this one. Ironically all Bowling Green as ever painted is base coat clear coat.

I think John meant St. Louis.
