This 69 Charger was body worked and painted a few years back,then it got moved around and chipped up here and there I just finished fixing the nicks,shooting it , and Scuff and buffing it. I curious if the owner will chime in or if he is buzy stepping in dog poop somewhere.

Very nice! I like the R6 color. Maybe even better than my R4.

Looks fantastic.  You realize now you will have a line of guys wanting their Chargers painted.  ;)

Look! He even painted the wheel!  

Brian, do me a favor and try to keep the dog poop away from my car!

It looks awesome.  I would have to say that is the coolest car you have ever had in that shop.  (totally unbiased opinion)

Beautiful paint job.  Got to ask, is this a basecoat/clearcoat paint job?  I know cameras take pictures differently with the same color but, at least to my eyes, this R6 is a little lighter and a little more "orange" in it compared to my R6.
In person, my paint compares extremely well to the original color of the Charger and is a single-stage acrylic paint. My paint was locally mixed and supplied by the local PPG paint store and, actually, was not supposed to be sold to individuals as it was classified as an industrial paint!  My restorer who is good friends with the paint store manager got him to call somewhere to research the original formula for R6 and had it faxed to him and he mixed it up for us right then!
Here is a couple more pictures of my Charger. Don't you agree it is a little darker or are my eyes deceiving me?

You know better. The wheels weren't even on it while it was being painted.


Yes it is the nicest dog turd we ever had in the shop.

the pic do make the color look more orange than it really is. And I had to match it to what the last guy shot because I didn't paint the jambs or most of the engine compartment,etc.

I also had the flash on. Probably shouldnt have...

Brian...  I'd LOVE to have you paint mine as well since I am only one and a half hours from you!  Problem is... $$  Maybe there is a '89 Classmate (25 Year Reunion) discount?   ;D

Just 6T9 CHGR

Save some of that R6 for me!  Looks great!  :cheers:
