  4. Hood stripes

    Yes, absolutely, However not all vinyl is the same., Plan to spend about $500.00 for a set of full body strips. Not counting the labor. I have had vinyl on my 2014 Corvette and when I should the vette in 2013 the stripe was like the day I bought the car. I really don't car for painted...
  5. Mustang on the autotrain

    Not a Mustang but a Camaro RS Convertible, not a problem at all. Since it was a Convertible when the loaded the car they loaded on the top tier so no oil could drip on top. They load big trucks and others with large tires, being GT does not matter. I have seen ZR2 Corvettes with no issues...

  12. How long to wait before waxing?

    I shot my first car in 1964, it was a rusted out 57 Chevy that was painted with a brush, I stripped the car, Bondo most of it, and painted it with Sears Spray Paint, Bright Red. IT WAS AWFUL and cost a small mint. Sold the car for $50.00 never recouped what I put into it. But no floorboards...
  13. How long to wait before waxing?

    That is very hard to answer, unless Ford was upgrading its paint plants and used an alternative method to paint at the factory.
