Just went to see the guy that I am having paint my car.  He just finished up another guys 68 RT 4 speed car.  Done in black and looks sweet, bad lighting in the garage so pics aren't the best.

Not my car, I am probably going to go with electric blue.  Would like to go with black but with three kids I am sure it would look like crap quick.......Wanted to see this one he did in black though to check out his skills...........I was very impressed.......decent prices also........

Yeah it really looks nice, six coats of clear and he figures he probably wet sanded two or three off.  He works at GM as a metal model maker, he fabricates alot of stuff for the prototype cars and he has done some of my stuff that I have been getting dipped and e-coated so I know his sheet metal skills.  This is the first time I have checked out his paint besides pics.  He has had a couple cars in the mopar mags and he and his brother did a challenger that they had judged at the mopar nationals.  He has always been a mopar guy, I wonder how he deals with being at GM ;D

Great looking paint job...what I can see of it. ;)

Please give us more eye candy when the sun pops out. :icon_smile_big:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Looks good.  Would you happen to know if it's painted in Chrysler's newer black metallic paint (like on the magnum & charger)?  I think that's why it looks like it's rootbeer colored in one of the pics, maybe...

No, I don't think it is.  It doesn't look metallic, it was just really bad lighting and it was overcast and raining outside as well.  It has been really crappy out here in SE Mich the last week or so, he has been waiting for a nice day to take the car out and see it in the sun.

Yeah, I have been waiting for him to get done with this one so I can get mine in there.  I have been doing the floors and and trunk areas in mine while I have been waiting.  I think I am going to let him finish the rest of the metal work.  It is getting old trying to fool with that in my little two car garage.  I am going to work on painting the engine and the grill while he is doing the car so I should be pretty much ready to assemble everything when he gets done.  For $16/hr I don't think I could find a better deal......

I know, pretty crazy huh.  He doesn't cut any corners either, uses expensive stuff though.  He was saying that guy had $2500 in materials for that car.....
