Great job! Nice way to show how to fix a paint job where completion was under less than perfect temp. Love the Autumn Bronze.
The heat got me on this one, the challenges keep it interesting for sure.
Great garage paint job result. Your attention to detail and explanation along the way has been priceless to so many of us. Thanks for taking the time to bring us on this build and all the time it takes for editing these videos. You are a class act.👍
Glad to help as you know car building is one thing then doing a video and then making come together as something good is another. I believe you have a knack for both.
I just found your channel. I’m not quite sure why, but your channel and style is GREAT. Easy going, Easy to follow. Great step by step on all your videos to instruct those of us who are just starting. 🙏🏼🙏🏼so much.
Thanks for finding my channel. I try to explain things accurately but show how simple some of this stuff is. As long as you have some mechanical understanding repairing this stuff can be done.
All that overspray on the GTO sitting right behind it in the driveway
I know bad example, even thou that car is in line for a restoration. I did it 20 years ago it is time for a redo
Bet the neighbor loves all that bronze paint on his white wood
Thanks
Back in 90s painted cars i shop and 4years ago i did base clear it was tiger sripped did now pull back dusting base when paining 1 stage you don't pull back you have dry spots i aked friend that pro he helped buy the way i stopped dont clear come back wet sand sprayed it again week later it was fine did now i think this guy is spot on
nice
Fantastic Jon! Great to see this milestone, thank you for taking us with you.
My pleasure! Feeling good about the entire car and read to see it to the finish line
👍🏽👍🏽beautiful
Thanks!!
Dang dude!!!! That's nicer than most professionals in a sterile environment. Enjoy that '68 beauty.
I think it came out great too, thanks
Looks great on video so I assume that it looks great in person.
thank you. it came out great and very happy with it.
As a painter in a body shop, I commend you for doing your own work, especially in a home garage! However, invest in a good spray gun, and you will get even better results!!!
Last suggestion, Pull your door down onto a fan, and block the space beside the fan with some plywood or something, and you’ll get much cleaner results as well. I’ve sprayed many many vehicles in places like this, so I’ve learned the tips & tricks on painting in a shop that’s not ideal… 😂 Great Job!!!
Thanks I have been looking at a couple guns actually DV1 seems to have my attention at the moment. Thanks for checking out the video and sharing the knowledge too much appreciated
No problem Sir, You earned my Sub! I have them all, and I could tell you which are good spray guns and which that aren’t. However, You’ll have to pick one that suits you best. Tell ya what.. I’d be glad to send you a few to test out and see how you like them and then you could send them back to me! If I were you, The first spray gun I would purchase is the Ani F-160! Everyone needs a good budget gun, and the F-160 is unbelievably priced at under $150 Non digital, and around $250 for the digital, and they perform better than 75% of the guns I have that were in the $700-$800+ range. I’m not sponsored by them in any way, Just sharing my experiences with them all. They have a premium gun that’s super nice & sprays great, But the F-160 is unbeatable in that price range… Lmk Sir, I’ll be glad to help out any way I can! I may sell, or possibly even give you one of my older guns!!! Take care Sir!!!
P.S. Funny I ran across this video, Because there’s an Original, Orange 68 Firebird sitting behind a house near us that’s been sitting there for many years just going to waste… I tried to buy it years ago but they just weren’t quite ready to sell it then…
@@tripleeathletics small world it seems sometimes with these old birds. Orange like mine here? I just looked up the An1 f-160 about $200 range that is a very reasonable price much better then dv1 I will get one and give it a go.
Nice job. I will be painting my 65 GTO very soon. Hope the end result is as good as yours.
I hope it does as well. I wish you the best of luck.
Im playing catch up on your videos, perks of moving lol. The car is looking amazing. Someday ill have a garage again and get back to mine.
hopefully soon you will get settled in. I want to see your car going down the road
Awesomeness dude
Thanks! 😎
Man you really did that paint job great I love it
Thank you so much 😀
Awesome paint job like i knew it would be! Painting a car is physically hard to when you dont do it all the time lol and know dust amazing John you don't need to ask anyone about nothing your the man brother.
Thanks 👍 I will say I have used some muscles that day I haven’t for awhile and I was a little sore the next day but totally worth it!
80% Prep 20% paint Exclent job Jon You nailed it
Thanks, i absolutely love how this car looks and worth every minute of prep work.
Car looks good i have done many cars a run is to be expected at some point. I was taught you walk a fine line with runs if putting on paint correctly. One tip not a criticism when doing vinyl roof cars always paint the roof just like the rest of the car. This gives you one more barrier to avoid rust, the factory didn't that's why vinyl roof cars develop rusty roofs. Good color choice though love the color.
I don’t read criticism I see people sharing experiences and knowledge and I appreciate it. Thank you.
Awesome job
Thanks supper happy to be at this point
So hard to believe its almost done- I feel like I have watched a complete work of art being created
Thanks! Will be a very nice car when done
Looks amazing!! Thanks for taking all the extra time to share your hard work.
Anytime! I am very happy with the results
I just stumbled on your channel after a long search on how to restore a classic car with zero experience. I'll try to make a long story short. My knowledge of working on cars is very limited. Years ago, my dad bought a rundown 1968 Firebird convertible. Very rusty, bad shape, & not running (400 engine, not original, & frozen). He was going to teach me how to work on cars by working together on it. But then he passed. It's a bittersweet inheritance. I have no knowledge of what I'm doing, & no longer have his guidance, but I'm determined to see this through. I just don't know where to begin. Your videos appear to be exactly what I need. You have so many videos, & they look like they'll be gems guiding me through this process, but I honestly don't know which video I should start with (& an order to follow) to begin this project. I can't emphasize enough what an absolute beginner that I am & would appreciate any suggestions you have on order of viewing. Thank you so much for providing these videos!
The sentimental value alone makes it worth while to try for sure, sorry for your loss of course. You have a great car to build plus there is so much aftermarket support for the 1968 Firebird so that makes it easier to build. So where to start maybe The play list for the Great pumpkin which is a 1968 Firebird coupe would be a good place to start. I did probably 80% of that build all on CZcams so it will cover a lot of the process. Now the current build
Is a convertible so it will show you a little more on that part once you get to that part.
@@VinylVillageGarage Thank you so much. I appreciate the sentiment. I was at a total loss on where to begin, but I really wanted to see this through...not only for myself, but to honor the memory of my dad as well. Lol, I'll probably cry when I hear that engine turn over for the first time. I really appreciate the guidance & wish you the best on current/future projects!
Oh no all that overspray is going onto the Judge.😮 You forgot to cover the cars that are sitting outside.
I know. That’s seems to have been quite the conversation piece. I will say that car looks good from afar but far from good. It’s in line to get a restoration
Man that looks sweet!
Thanks. Looking forward to seeing your car back to red on the CZcamss too.
Back Around 1980 my brother and his friend painted a cougar a similar color in a garage. They got high from the paint. I was too young to appreciate why.
this stuff now will mess you up without a mask. I am sure back then wasn’t any safer. I bet there where feeling the effects for sure
Wow! Looks awesome with that color. Im sad to see it end after watching so many episodes.i hope you have more projects to come! Its been a real pleasure warching. Thanks for all the great videos and knowledge
Yes plenty of projects, my first bird, 1969 bird convertible metal work overhaul, and several more. So no need to worry many more cars to keep playing with.
Wow, is that sharp! Amazing what know-how and a little extra care can accomplish in a plain old 2-car garage.
My thoughts exactly, proof it can be done.
That thing looks fantastic! I'm not surprised at all with all the time and attention to detail on it!!!!
Appreciate it. All of it is coming together now and all the little things are adding up now.
looks great, i'm surprised that you didn't move the cars from the driveway to protect from overspray.
I did move the miss’s 2022 Malibu, the GTO is in line to get a refresh.
@@VinylVillageGarage ok did you work in the autobody industry or are you just a diyer
@@cartracer64 never professionally as auto body, lots of reading books and trial and error over the last 29 years, started when I was 15. Man time flys
Autumn Bronze Metallic, A colour option that was introduced in the last quarter of 1968 to boost the sales before the '69s came out. That slight hint of copper is an eye catcher, though I get tired of people calling it 'brown', My 400 is this colour so I like your painting technique and I think I'm ready to repaint the 'Bird.
I absolutely love this color!! Glad we went back to original. It’s definitely not brown.
"Brown" is the most polite term I've heard my car's colour described as, have you heard 'sh!tty brindle'? I still like my car's colour though
Much gooder, much gooder! Great job Jon! Thanks for sharing and taking us along on on journey.
Of course anytime. It’s fun playing cars with friends.
LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Thank you for all of the videos so far!!
You are so welcome!
Jesus John it looks amazing to me!!!👍🏽
Thanks! It came our great to me. I have a few blemishes that will clean up
With a little cut and buff, could not be happier
Just came across your channel. New sub. Great job 👍🏽 Turned out great
Awesome Thanks for finding us and subscribing.
Great job on this car. Looks fantastic.
Thanks! Love the
Color and happy to have it painted
It's July third.
I just want to let all of you gear heads out there that I hope you have a safe cruising Independence Day.
🇺🇲😎😎🇺🇲
Happy 4th of July!!
Beautiful job my first car back in nineteen seventy three was is sixty seven firebird Always regretted selling that car.
So many times I heard of the cars that got away. The thing is back then it was just a car and really had non clue what it would be worth or how sentimental it would be. Same as today I have no clue what car will be worth or which one I should hold on to.
Can’t believe you didn’t move the two cars behind u
They are cars that are inline for restoration, if they where something nice would have been moved or at least covered
Working on a 68 Camaro in early stages. Your work has given me many good ideas. Some get too involved and some do too little. You do waht I see myself doing. You even took apart, showed the same door I have to redo the guts on too. Really enjoyed all these and will continue. This reminds me of painting cars 40 years ago with laquer at my house and the neighbors too worried. I am Tom near Austin, Texas.
thanks Tom! glad to know this was of some help to you. i have a video on installing the glass and regulator I will be posting Wednesday. fortunately my neighbors are pretty cool, they don’t mind too much. plus I help them with their cars when I can. good luck with Camaro and stay cool there in Texas
@@VinylVillageGarage I have learned a lot of things and watching all your videos up to this point on this car. I would have never have dreamed of and I've never seen anybody do or do it that way. I'm pretty old now and your way of doing stuff is more easily done by someone like me. Some seem to have lost sight of the prize. I feel like what you're doing is just about as close to perfect as a person can get for us real guys.
@@cliftsgarage4974 it’s the attention to details that I work for,
No way I can get all
Of it perfect so how I see it get some much other stuff right that the few things that I don’t won’t stand out so much and every time I build a car I learn something new and improve. And now I get to share those experiences on CZcams.
Wow wow !
Thanks!!!
Hi Jon… the colour looks awesome!!!… WOW . Can’t wait to see the car put back whole.. again, thank you… looks Great
You and me both! should be a very clean ride when done, thanks for watching
That car looks frigging awesome!
thanks many hours to get here but now it’s showing
Sweet bird.....
Might need an Autumn Orange shirt to commemorate the project.
👍👍😎👍👍
You look like you're do for a Dew.
lol. Those are great ideas! I think both are in order
Thanks for posting this video.
Very welcome
Fantastic Job! Love seeing the end result.
Thank you! I really like just looking at the car in the garage and taking in where it started at just over a year ago
I think I like the gray seal coat better than Autumn Bronze.
👍
Great job Jon! That came out amazingly well due to all of your prep work; impressive level of videography and execution! You’re a natural educator! Inspiring me to get mine started again!
Thanks a ton!
you could easily finish your bird.
Very Nice job. Congratulations
Thank you very much!
Great job I’m going to be painting my 1969 camaro in the driveway in the near future thanks for the motivation
Heck yeah!
I miss mine, was stolen after I completed it in 1982. Took me over a year going to junk yards to fine perfect emblems.
That is unfortunate, the time spent treasure hunting can be fun but a colossal kick to the butt when the entire prize is stolen. I couldn’t imagine.
Looks amazing ,been a journey for you and the satisfaction you must feel now .Again a great video as usual and thanks for showing us how to play cars ...
Thanks. Never to old to play cars
Just finished one in my garage, silver metallic, one of the best I've done so far. Good thing... it's my own car! Some reason, warmer than normal, I got drips from the nozzle 4 times. Had to stop & sand it out then each time it dripped again same area. Finally got it and looks great.. cant believe your total disregard for overspray.😂😂 I was just telling my neighbor dont worry about it, but those are right at the door.
You did good. Silver is a tough color to get even, I like to spray when it’s like 70 degrees and early spring less
Bugs too. The gto over sprayed is me trying it motivate myself
To get it repainted,
I did that car 20 years ago used PPG paint and the paint has held up fantastically but my body work under the paint isn’t good. Wavy and sand makes galore amazing what you learn in 20 years. The gto is in line to get a freshen up and better paint prep
@@VinylVillageGarage ahhhhhh, sometimes we need that kick in the ass.. I'm a rattle can pro, you cant tell it wasn't a gun. Use automotive touchup for the paint match, the Spray max 2k everything else- epoxy, filler primer, & clear. Clear turned out beautiful 3 coats.. Took me forever to get the body work done it's a really curvy car.. it's an 05 volvo s60R, did partial quarters & wheel arch on both sides. Along with almost full length rocker panels. Oh yeah built all the panels from sheet metal by hand. Someday I'm going to upload pictures into a video with commentary, there's just too many steps to do pictures without explaining..
I have a couple pics uploaded to imgur but not sure how to get a link to you if you want to see.
Had faber panels. I have done small pieces and patches never a body panel. I would like to see that. You have to do Commentary with a slide show to get the best results.
👏👏👏
Thanks!!
It looks very good. Looking forward to seeing it all back together.
Me too. It’s a lot of little projects but they seem to go quick from this point
Beautiful!!!
Thank you!! I agree
I am catching up, but WOW, I love that color!!
I really like this Color too. Really going to miss this car.
@shawnstafford7809 nope wish it was mine. I worked out a deal with someone I knew to restore his car. I wanted to rebuild a car from beginning to end on CZcams. My cars are all done or over half completed.
@shawnstafford7809 thanks I feel this one is coming out exceptionally well and should last as well.
Looks great!!!
Thanks!!
Great job Jon !!!!!
thanks for watching too!
Yeah looks great 👍
Heck yeah could not be happier with the color.
Excellent work! That is a great paint job. Congratulations on the outcome!
Appreciate that. Feels good to have this part done.
Painting one car and over spray on the other… nice
It was a two for one special. The gto is
Next in line for a restoration
That car is gorgeous man. Nice work
It really is! Thanks so happy to get this far
Looks really good man! Makes all that hard work of body work worth it. Keep up the great work.
Yes it does! So happy to have the check box for this part
Great job.
Thank you 😊
Nice work!
Thanks!
Great job your inspiring me to paint mine in the garage
It can be done!!
beautiful job Jon! Something to be proud of. I did my first paint job 2 years ago and it turned out really nice but I had a pro painter coach. Hope you are going to take us thru the cut and buff as well and I really look forward to the vinyl top install. Thanks for sharing.
I have been flying by the seat of my pants,lots of trial and error years ago. Seem to have a system figured out now. I bet having a coach was great.
I have been on vacation this past week but when I return I will be doing some cutting and buffing.
@@VinylVillageGarage the paint looks fantastic. Best way to learn is by the seat of your pants. l0l. can't wait for the cut and buff.
@@VinylVillageGarage by the way, you may want to check out Jubee Mays work on first gens. His channel is aMAYSing metal work. He is the foreman at the installation center, formally the AMD installation center. Great vids on first gen Camaro builds....not that you need to improve on your already awesome builds, but you may pick up a tip or two.
Heck yeah !!!! Great job!
Thanks!!
@@VinylVillageGarage
Your a true talent, working by yourself and getting things done! I salute you my friend!
I misread the title and was expecting awful and was feeling the pain you were going to suffer fixing it. I finally got it after seeing such a great result, haha, I am a little slow today. Nice job, looks fantastic. I am amazed you get such great results in your garage with the door open. I get so much "stuff" in my clear spraying in my garage. I need to upgrade my home built booth to some type of filtered down draft air flow. I used to be the king of runs and hated them and the fixing process. I recently upgraded to a DV1 clear gun with the C1 & C2 caps and it was night and day difference for my novice skills with my cheaper gun. The C2 cap is the one to use. Sure that $750 eBay price was a bit steep, but the result is pretty amazing even when I think I am putting on too much and will surely get a run. It just flows out smooth with a factory peel look. No buyer's remorse. Easy to cut and polish for the smooth as glass look for your pretty birds. I hope the pumpkin finds a great home when you are done and look forward to your next project.
I have been debating buying a newer gun but there is so many choices and prices are all over the place. Did a little looking into DV1 gun this morning, impressive and still about what you paid as well. I might upgrade before the next paint job. I have a black car to do here soon. Thanks
Yeah, that mist must have got on that car outside the door. Paint has a habit that way. Jack.
It is definitely covered from the last two cars I painted as well. This car is in line for a freshen up. I did it over 20 years ago.
Looks amazing, fantastic job
I can’t complain, worked out good
@@VinylVillageGarage great looking job from what I can see , I sure it looks much better looking at it in person , it looks like a stellar job through and through , gonna be an amazing car
Not bad, but the fact that you painted it with a GTO like 3 feet from it is a travesty
I have caught so much grief over that. Lol. Stay tuned that car is inline to get a refresh is why it’s there. Overspray is the least of that car’s concerns.
That’s a little harsh of a comment. For the experience level of this guy, his available work area, and his intended goals, I would say he did a great job compared to many home garage paint jobs. 👏👏👏
Wow! Terrific! I love how easy you make it look. Now it’s time to start on the GTO! I know it must have been green…
Great work Jon! I learn a lot from your videos and this car came out amazing!
Absolutely love seeing the color go on. Watching your videos have pushed my son and I to get working on his 67 Bird. We put the first new metal on it last weekend and will be heading to the National Parts Depot here in Florida to get his rear quarters and tail panel.
Tail panels are a total BEAR ! on F body's. I am out here doing full rockers now, total NIGHTMARE ! Put new full rockers in, you need them, it will be fun they said ----- they lie ! 10 million spotwelds.🤬
That is awesome! Keep it going. Gotta save them birds
Amazing job, Jon! She looks awesome!! 👏
Thanks a bunch! Time to get yours done. Had a nice visit with your brother as well,
Super helpful guy
@@VinylVillageGarage I may some steal you to get his underway... ;-)
@@sunbirdgarage2774 lol. It has potential for sure
Wow that’s amazing love the color looks great. I’m at this point on my 69 convertible so hard picking a color. Again looks great.
Color is a tough choice, these birds have nice lines that really pop with the right paint job. Good luck.
I had a 69 Firebird that someone painted Porsche Red in the late 80’s had a white top & white interior. It would turn heads in the 80’s.
Looks really sweet 🍻😎
Thanks!!! Super happy to be this far.
@@VinylVillageGarage I bet. It’s been a long we’ll planned meticulous road. Getting so close now.
I see your GTO Judge is very close, behind your spray work..... EEEEK !!!
the GTO needs a refresh, it looks ok from 20 feet but it’s showing it’s age.
@@VinylVillageGarage I figured as such.... I was kidding. ( My 1st car was a 1970 GTO) ...DUST on a car protects it from overspray.... BTW.... Your spray job video was great !!
Looks good! Why wouldn’t you want the garage door shut?
I leave the door open for Lighting and air to breath. It only works door open on non windy days and early morning and spring when there are less or no bugs yet. I have used plastic and box fans in the past seems to work ok too
I think you forgot to close the garage door. That poor car outside got a hit of overspray for sure
Yeah it’s had a couple layers of overspray that car is in mine to be restored. I did it over 20 years ago and it’s ready for a refresh.
How did you not get any overspray on the GTO? it is so close and it looks like clouds of overspray are going right over it.
It’s covered in overspray from the last few cars I did. That car looks decent from a distance but needs a refresh and plan to do it soon on the CZcamss
To good 😊😍 But, I am to old school, I will stick with my Imron Clear. Very loooong day, I know. I split it up, one day masking the next painting. You sand it and hit it with the compound it will be fine. Been watching guys dry sand the clear with 800 on a DA ?????? Scary to me, I think I will continue to use wet 800 then 1,200 wet then compound & wax. Glad you sealed it all off again.
I do similar if I get noticeable dirt in my base coat I will wet sand with 800-1000 then reapply a base coat then go to clear.
looks tidy as well done. are you using any kind of fans or extraction
No fans, the sealer and base sprays with almost no over spray. The clear is a little tricky. Next car I might build in a way to Evacuate the clear when done
That GTO in the driveway is going to be covered in overspray....
Yup it’s had about 3 paint jobs worth of over spray.
It’s in line to get restored
OMGGGGGG!! I WAS HURTING LOOKING AT THE JUDGE TAKING ALL THAT SPRAY DUST. 😮😮😮
I usually paint in my garage and park my cars way far so I don't have to clay them later. Still get spray dust😡..
Is the Judge OK??
Well yes overspray goes everywhere, I had the miss’s take her new Malibu out for the day. The gto is actually in line for a refresh. It looks ok from 20 feet but it needs some love.
New subscriber here, after watching this video. Really well done, both the video quality, content and the incredible masking job for is DIY motor-heads. I’ve got a 1969 Z28 that I hope to do as you have.
Again, really well done!!!! 👏👏
Thanks for subscribing!! I love playing cars and sharing the ups and downs. I hope your z28 comes out even better
@@VinylVillageGarage, what spray gun(s) and compressor did you use?
@@rays9033 what I used in this video was a MAC tools HVLP econo coat gun. Had for over 5 years and still love it. My compressor is a sanborn I think it is a 60 gallon tank, twin cylinder single stage compressor. I am putting together a video on all this soon it seems to be a popular question and definitely worth diggin into a bit more.
@@VinylVillageGarage , awesome, thank you!
@@rays9033 anytime
Looks great! 😎🤘
I had a quick question about your wheels that you restored before this. How many cans of each color of paint and primer did you have to buy to do all four wheels? Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 😎🤘
I used two cans of silver and one can of Greg. I also painted the inside and backside of the rims silver so it used more,
Every time you wash the car your slowly removing paint .Looks great .Less is more sometimes ?
Yes, thanks
Looks great came out really clean considering no booth, will you be clay barring all of the cars in your driveway now because of overspray ?😂
Lol. The orange car needs a total resto I finished it over 20 years ago and showing its age. Need more reasons to get started on it
@@VinylVillageGarage camaro will be awesome to see in the sun all cut and buffed, nice work
Great job. Thanks for sharing. Did you have any issues with overspray on the GTO parked outside?
Yup sure did. That car looks decent on camera but it’s been sitting outside for
Over 6 years and needs to be redone. It’s last restoration was 22 years ago
@@VinylVillageGarageThat's good to know. I'll make sure I clear my driveway before spraying. I like the simplicity of just spraying in an open garage, but I'm thinking to use a couple box fans for exhaust with filters in front of them to collect over spray and keep air moving.
Good work. Garage painting is a hoot. At least you didn't do it with 40 cans of rust oleum - which I have done !
Great point! But it’s better then nothing and one even color is nice too.
@@VinylVillageGarage I sprayed it primer black and then 2 coats of flat black and it actually looked pretty good. $3 x 40 cans = $120 paint job. Earl Scheib was charging $700 at the time and their paint was only slightly better quality. The body was straight so that helped.
@@tomsettles6873 😎nice. Lol earl shieb have not heard that in many years.
Why wouldn’t you move the car out of the way that’s in the driveway? Much overspray on it ?
Well that car is next to get refreshed so overspray isn’t a concern for that old car
great garage job. how much overspray did you get on the GTO
Lots of overspray actually it has a couple cars worth now. I finished that car 20 years ago. It has held up
Well considering the heck I put it thru. I have plans and it is line to get a redo again.
I agree with Ken.. why in the world didn't you move the GTO😮..? Pex
Because it is actually in need of some major body work and repaint
Gotcha
Excellent work. The prep is amazing.
Thanks for noticing, lots of time involved but the results speak for themselves I feel. It’s no secret a paint job is only as
Good as it prep
Awesome job Jon! I think you may have inspired me to try painting the GTO I'm restoring in my garage. How much paint and clear did you need? What brand of paint did you use?
Typically 1 gallon of color that needs reduced and same with the clear will do an entire car Jambs and inside the trunk lid. I use PPG products. Spend a few
More dollars but it hasn’t let me down
You started at 6 am. What time was it when you finished Jon
3:30pm. And I will tell you I was done physically too
Looks great how much paint and clear did you end up using
Just under the gallon of color and same for the clear.
Well its good bro but from my experience i did that like you and paid the price nextime move the cars out of the drive way check them out bet they have overspray on them 😢 just some advise bro
I agree best to move Anything you don’t want overspray on. You don’t see the wife’s new Malibu for that reason. The gto looks ok but it’s in desperate need of a Redo. I did that car 20 years ago and the paint looks decent but the body work well let’s say 20 years of experience I can do a lot better this time
Where are you getting your paint restoring 68 gto all the paint stores for auto have shut down around me.All other cars i have restored used ppg Sherwin Williams sikens.
I have two places my friend owns a body shop but it’s a two hour drive. The other place is speedway auto parts in Indianapolis so far they still haven’t let me down yet. I hope it’s not an issue
Like Joe Dirt said..."shit'll buff out"
Heck yeah it will.
