Well , here is my 1:1 painting of lately , the inside of the fenders and door jambs of the 1970 AAR Cuda I am doing . This is PPG DCC Concept single stage with 2021 clear cocktailed in it .

That thing is going to be sweet.. love those old cuda's..😍.. man, I know it.. paint has gone through the roof over the year's.. that camel brown poly on the truck was $418 a quart for the base..😱.. and the dang stuff is a tri coat, so a burgundy brown base first.. roughly 4 g's just in paint and paint materials.. they don't make it easy anymore..

Man, I haven't been to rcm in some time now.. I miss the place...😂😂
 
Now for the many , many hours on the bottom. Every ding / dent / pit etc , this car is going concourse , gray dip primer look with the white overspray onto the floor pans . The rotisserie is worth every penny !!! Lol
