 Problem with 3 coats of paint is that the film thickness gets too great and
 it starts cracking everywhere in 3 or 4 years
 
 Bondo will only crack if you use too much hardner or allow water to get on
 it at any point,,, stuffs like a sponge!

 Reminds me of the time I wanted my Hebmüller painted red and ivory, just 
like Bill
Collins'  Heb. The results came out what Bill Collins (of all people) 
described as "butterscotch and orange". I could have murdered Don Churchill 
for painting the Heb
those awful colors, and I spent my time at the 1998 Classic apologizing for 
the car.. But, in the end, I just let it go and eventually sanded the paint 
off all parts and started over. We are still repainting, but it's gonna be 
the right colors this time. The wheels are already painted the proper colors. 
Sorry to say so, but it looks like you are in the same boat, Jason .....
