Rowan,
As I said in my email to you: Multi tasking to it’s best.

Primed the Chassis, body, rear wing, etc with Ammo by Mig Black One shot primer as I've previously posted. The One Shot does indeed sand and polish extremely well which is a real good thing as I hate to think of the difficulties in trying to strip it and start over again. One thing that I did notice is the that One Shot isn't really Black, but more like a Nato or dark Gray Black. So I still can use it when those shades are needed, but never again as a primer coat.
Here’s the Chassis and body shell that still needs a little more polishing so I can start apply the Gravity Black color coat.

Well, the primer stage on the Lola as beaten me into submission, frustration, and just killed my Mojo for this build right now.
I’ve sanded and polished the really rough surface of the primer and thought that I got it good enough. But the truth be told, it just wasn’t. I air brushed on the Gravity Black lacquer as i always do of light, even coats # 14psi. But the color coat looked horrendous. I let it cure for a few days, but no amount of wet sanding really cured all the issues. It’s so poor that I need to strip all the various painted parts and start over. Unfortunately, my Mojo level for this build is now a lowly 0!! So I’ll slowly go through the stripping process, and then get it ready for priming later this year. In the meantime I’m going to start a build that I’ve wanted to do for quite some time. Details to follow.

I feel your pain there Joel, that’s what happened with me with the Alpine.
A year or so later I have come back to it, and although not perfect I am quite happy with the nearly finished result.
So time and patience cures all, and I’m sure your get your mojo back for this at a future date.
Looking forward to seeing what you have next in store for us.

Bummer but you know what to do - step away and come back to it later .
Anxious to see the next effort and if you ever get the aircraft bug again get the Tamiya P 38 . You won’t regret it .

Ditto.
Getting a less troublesome build across the line always refills the mojo-bucket so you hit the difficult ones with renewed vigor.
Looking forward to the new project hitting the bench.
Cheers, D
Thanks guys. For a change that’s exactly what I did. Everything was repacked, and in a few days I’ll get a chance to pick up a quart of Denatured Alcohol, which is what I’ve always used to strip paint off. Hopefully, it works on this primer as well.
Right now I’ve already pulled down my next build which has been designated my next build all along. Take a look at my new avatar, as that’s the exact car. It’s the Penzoil Porsche 911 GT1 that ran at LeMans. I’ll be doing an opening post sooner then later.
As for the Lola, she’ll get done this year for sure.

Hi Joel
This is a strange situation. That said, I’m wondering how much the unattractiveness of the primer will hurt your black base coat? If this were to be painted a more transparent color, like yellow, or red, ugh - that would be tough to save - with black, I’m not sure? Could you test paint the underside? just to see what happens? It might be fine.
You might recall I built the Yamaha F1 car a while ago - and used two different primer colors for different body parts, both areas to receive a red top coat. That was a mistake - one area turned out a crisp red, while the other a warm red - which you’d only notice if you looked at the car!! 
Maybe not so much trouble with black (usually fairly dense/not transparent), as the base looks fairly smooth, if not a bit high and low in tone 
Take care and stay well - oh, and please finish this build!

Nick,
i posted that the color coat turned out horrible due to the prime coat IMHO. So, the build has been stopped for now. Next up is the Tamiya Porsche 911 GT1 in Pennzoil colors.
For a stripping agent I’ve always used Denatured Alcohol, but I need to get to Home Depot as I’m out this week and buy some. Then I’ll strip everything. If that works, then right after the 911, the Lola is back on my bench. I also ran out of Gravity Black paint. just placed an order for some paint and supplies, so I’ll be ready to go when the 911 GT1 crosses the finish line.
Joel
Sorry, Joel - I misunderstood your text/photos above - more sorry to fully understand what happened! Don’t give up on - My bet is you’ll fix it up, and have a great finish as always!
Nick
Sorry to read about your paint issues Joel! It’s good you have options and I look forward to another one of your Porsches, should be a good one!
cheers
Michael
Michael,
Thanks so much for your support on the Lola, as well as looking forward to another Porsche adventure. I can promise that this one is going to be special, at least for us Porsche lovers, plus the GT1 category is long gone. Look for my build blog intro and 1st update this week.
I’ve got complete confidence that the Lola will cross the finish line. just need to get past the paint stripping where the acrylic primer is the big unknown. But as Hollywood has always said: What Lola wants, Lola always gets
