camaro doors are not "fiberglass" it is called "SMC" same as the hoods on the f-bodies, ford uses it, gm uses it, dodge uses it, and we dont use "fiberglass" to fix it either, we use a product made for "smc" the 2 are totaly different products

the only time we ever bake a car is to get the car done faster, if a car has to go in 1 day, we bake it at the products specs, like ppgs clear should be cooked at 140-160, thats the only time there is no need to bake clear anymore

in my 20yrs i have never seen paint chip off crack off or flex to the point where it will fail on the panle, lets look at saturn the "abs" panles on the car will crack before the paint does, so i say hes good, nothing to worry about
