New Paint Job

The cost is 10,500:eek::eek:.....This car should have never been restored but I fell in love with it and wanted to put it back to original. The time frame was a 3 month turn around and they are on schedule. They are doing a 60 something corvette,68camaro,57chevy truck also. The guys are straight forward and great to work with.
I didnt get a chance to get any pictures after the block and buff but its turning out pretty good.
OMG! I need to up my price. Man it looks real nice. You can check out my trend OMG it's a buick to paint. I hope it's everything you paid for. Post some pictures when you get it home. I also relize they have done a lot of extra stuff that is extra. Beautiful job;)

The price was more than I expected but my car was not a great car to get a good estimate on. Someone before me had it painted and they really hurt it! I also sent several pictures to a great shop in CT to get an estimate and his estimate was in the same ballpark. So minus shipping the car up there I decided to stay local. This is as close to a frame on restoration as I could afford and so far so good. BUT I wouldnt hesistate to let you paint the next one! :biggrin::biggrin:

Looks great !...Now you just have to get yourself one of those single piece front air dams

I just had my car stripped bare and repainted too. In the process of re-assembling.

Will post up some pics when done..

Thank you, I hope yours turns out great. Im not into those one piece air dams. I think the two piece are unique and not JC Whitney looking.
 
What product did they use for the base coat and clear. Thanks
BTW it look sweet, they did a great job. Very impressed.
 
A few more including Interior

Almost Done

I need to find a quality shop around Northwest Florida, some stupid young B*** rear ended my 48,000 mile GN today, it will need a rightrear 1/4 and the frame pulled, insurance will be paying, and boy will they, I am sick.
Any leads on an NOS 1/4 and bumper would be helpful.
