John, I'm gonna have to roll over there and see ya when I finally get my car down here from VA. Got any special kinda paint that will handle this FLA heat?

Sure, any quality basecoat/clearcoat acrylic urethane, applied properly, will last for many years, if taken care of.

A ballpark figure is $4K to $5K. I remove bumpers, hood, trunk, doors, trim, sail glass and re-assemble after polishing. Do my best to straighten before painting. Apply a lot of paint, and block sand a bunch off, the right way. Result is dead straight, mirror finish that turns heads. Not your average show job. Don't ask me to do half-ass. Unfortunately, pictures don't do my GN's paint justice. And, my next job will be better than my last because that's my mindset.

Sounds good. I've been doing paint jobs for about 20 years myself, 2 - 4 a year, but up in VA I had a nice shop to work in to do my work, and all of my equipment. Used to like the ChromaSystems, myself. I've gotten rid of all of it when I moved here. I will definitely be giving you a holler this summer/fall.

BTW - My car is in VEY nice condition. A few little dings and scratches is all. But she could use a freshening up.

Red Regal T,


How much for your vacuum brake kit??

I was very impressed with your paint work. I'd like to get together and have you take a look at my TR. I'll try to catch up to you at the Largo Cruise.

I have a WH1 which is ID'd by it's gun metal grey sides among other things but the signature of a WH1 is the 2 tone paint. Can you match the original paint?....

Sure ... the color carries a paint code. It can be duplicated in today's superior quality coatings.
