@antifactionprogman wots wrong with repairs 50 years ago???// i have seen repairs from 50 years ago an they r great.u got me lost on that1 mate.

[GookStomper]

if this bloke was soooooooooooo concourse as u say ,why did nt he have the fenders painted the same as the outside of the car???an if he was so exstream why did he settle for body filler instead of lead fill like they did in those days.anyway pete u r doing an fine job an 4u to take time for that boy i commend u .,u r a unsung hero no many would do that they would look the other way .

@GookStomper

my guess would be that the owner wants it to look like it's bran new- not repaired 50 years ago.

Shit them babys look good inside. I would hate to even wipe them with a clean rag on the inside. blacks a bitch.If it was my car, it would of been done with just PPG DP90 epoxy and i would of called it a day.Is the guy even going to have pistons in the engine? I have seen some Concourse cars hear have dummy motors in them.If I was rich i might own a car like that i dought it. i would drive it. My dad did a 70 Chevelle SS and 15 years being restored only put 200 miles on car. Not me i drive em.

that looks great.

The fenders turned out great......nicely done Pete.

And no, i cant see a single stage being better than BC/CC. even if it is high quality shit. CC means if you get a scratch you might not lose your color. and SS doesnt do metallics or pearls very well. so :P lol

@godofm3tal1 The paint that was used on the inside and underside of the car was singlestage, and it hast to all match when you open the doors, and trunk. On the fenders and engine compartment single stage is the best to use. Pete

[godofm3tal1]

@swrnc yeah i agree its good stuff all around. i just would have thought hearing single stage when talking about a show car was like grinding nails on a chalkboard lol but yeah, i mean you dont really NEED the clearcoat... especially for a solid black. SS scares me. u get a run in it, and its hard to get out :( or so has been my experience lol

@55Buick54  im not pete (O_o)

[blazerlover25]

@godofm3tal1 actually single stage is better cause with clearcoat if you get a scratch you might have to reclear the entire car or sections of it unlike single stage you can just touch it up and be done just my 2cents here since i prefer single stage over clear cause of the cost factor

[godofm3tal1]

@blazerlover25 First off... you CAN spot clear in... and its actually less noticable than most SS spot ins. If you spot in SS paint, you WILL see a transition. period. why? because you cant blend the color in. you have to wet sand it and buff it. and when you do that, you end up with a hard line of color. depending on how good the color match was, that difference could be catastrophic. ive blended and spotted bc/cc before and it was un noticable. and i didnt even use urethane reducer....

[godofm3tal1]

@blazerlover25 So yes, if you like cheap as all fuck... go ahead with single stage... and yes they do make quality SS products, but nowhere near as nice as BC/CC... and dare i say, try shooting a metallic or pearl in single stage, and see how far you get lol better lay it down flat... cuz you wont be buffin that shit.... not very successfully anyways... lol so while i appreciate your 2 cents, as a professional painter, im here to tell you those pennies are counterfeit lol

[JohnnyCorleone]

@godofm3tal1 He is doing it that way because that's the way the picky customer wants it.

[godofm3tal1]

Pete.... if youre gonna spend $600 a gallon on paint, why not just BC/CC it?

Great job Pete! I really appreciate seeing your work.
