Here's a few shots from tonight... more on Monday...

Gorgeous outcome Mike and team! And way to recruit another gorgeous woman to the SG Team. Mike, I would love to know how you keep finding these amazing ladies to model for AG and how I can get a job at PBME so that I can move back to the South and meet them.LOL
I forgot for a minute that the Camaro was had been restored and was not SS paint anymore. Nice to see it was repainted properly even though not correct for the era. Made life easier on you and the team, I am sure.

I love working on SS or Single Stage paint but for most people, the way to go for a car like this is a modern basecoat/clearcoat finish, for all kinds of reasons.
The story behind the paint job is very interesting, Steve sent it to me in an e-mail that I'm going to ask him to post to this thread.
I've been working on an article how to get a great paint job, basically how to talk to the painter to get what you really want.
Part of that article will talk about the benefits of getting any graphics sprayed under the clear coat, not on the clear coat.
This car was painted in 2002 so it's almost 10 years old and I don't know the brand of paint but whatever it is, it really polishes out to a clear, high gloss. It truly looks like the pictures show...
