In these days of modern vinyl stickers and wraps its great to see a car being done old School, watch this being done in time-laps video and look at the colour pop in the daylight.
If I ever get another car I want it doing this way.

We were chatting the other night about paint jobs & a painter we know in US. High dollar paint jobs are unreal these days, I was amazed to hear about a show car & the cost to get into the primer stage the bill was $35k.....
"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
It's always been that way, I read recently a top quality custom paint job back in the '70's averaged about 10k. The paint itself is very expensive, and the old style flakes took gallons of lacquer to cover, you could be talking 30+coats. Tons of masking, hours and hours of labour, has to come to big money.
“This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around”
Looks great....... Proud to say, we do the whole lot under one roof, from prep to paint to lettering to airbrushing....
Problem is, there is not enough work out there.... That is why, I am thinking of calling it a day, after I do my car.
Shame, but the digital age is killing art.
