Hi Folks,
You may want to see if the course can be tailored to include the guidecoating, filling etc. required to ensure you have a straight fiberglass body as a foundation for your paint. The PPG custom painting class I took (many years ago) did not cover this topic even though it did cover general (post bodywork) prep topics.
Note that PPG has a nice publication that describes topics of general interest and new product capabilities. You can check it out here:
