Friend of mine had a Cervini and he found that it had cracks in the paint and material.

 

...84 Belinetta,

Wow, Freight is a bunch!... But, you mentioned being a body man?Do you know how to do Fiberglass repair? That hood I mentioned that I have is not being used. Only problem is the corner of the hood is broken off {Hey, guess what happens when you drive off without pinning down the hood?}. It also has holes drilled in the front for the pins..... Bill...

 

billsbird.....

i can repair if you have all the pieces try and post a pic so i can see damage

 

....woops, the piece that broke off is l-o-n-g gone .... Got to have the piece to repair it? xxx

 

That is the first thing I have heard bad about Cervini. You do have to let it fully cure before you paint it.

I left mine on the car unpainted for weeks but took it off because I got tired of white. I saw no cracks. Quality is better than any other of the hoods available to us that I have seen.

How do I post a pic?

makes it easier to repair with piece if its not to bad might be able to do something with it got any pics????



slim....

what you mean by fully cure????

 

Cervini didn't keep any hoods in stock for my 91. So they made it and sent it out. You have to let it fully cure(usually 3 or 4 days in moderate climates) before you paint it. The resin has to fully harden.

sorry thats not true i do fiberglass work everyday at work and paint it the same day...

 

What kind of paint do you use and what kind of work do you do?

A hard auto paint applied to a fresh hood out of a mold can crack when the material cures.

And it was even on a large sticker stuck to the hood. Said not to paint it until it was fully cured.

 

i work for peterbilt we use imron which is a dupont paint yes ofcourse you cant spray it while its wet but it only takes a couple hours 24 at the most to cure. im sure they had to ship it to you theres your cure time

 

I am assuming you do body work. If so, that is a small amount of resin you are working with. It would dry pretty fast.

If not, what do you do?
