How to Fix Cracked Paint

Whoops, there is a big crack in your paint. You didn't see it before, but there it is. Was it the Bondo that cracked or was it the application of the paint? How do you find out? We're going to show you. There are many reasons you might need to spot-repair your otherwise perfect paint job, such as a door ding, a paint bubble, or a large scratch, but we are going to show you a worst-case scenario-ours was a sheetmetal failure under the bodywork.

To get some expert advice on how to deal with this issue, we spent a day at Muscle Car Restorations in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. These guys are well known for their world-class full restorations, but they are also glad to take in partial work. This is doable in one day, so you shouldn't have to miss your next event.
