SpeedFreak Detailed: $200,000 custom black 1957 Corvette - full correction

[Zapa]

IME, when dealing with older cars, owners always want the blackest black. Single stage black is usually darker(blacker) then BC/CC. I see a lot of SS jobs on custom and older cars it seems. Oxidizing is not the biggest concern when a car sits inside and is never driven in bad conditions. Great job on this beauty.

I could be wrong about this, but once being a vintage corvette owner myself (1967 White Convertible), I can understand the high importance of having the correct paint type and color on the vehicle.

Many may argue this point, with the current sophistication of the state of the art paint systems available today, but I still would argue that point about any of those new finishes, versus laquer done correctly.

Laquer of course could be clear coated, with tons more clear on top, take candy apple paint for example. Or of course any metallic, metalflake, or glass flake back then in the day.

On straight black though, I agree, any clear on top truly detracts IMO.

Thanks I have never dealt with a single stage paint before so I have not done too much research on them. Thanks for the info. This one has to be one of the best examples of a single stage done.

Great job! Those are some stellar reflection shots. That painter knew what he was doing for sure.

Wow what an amazing paint job. Some of best reflections and wettest looking black paint I've seen!

And you did an awesome job bringing it back to life :xyxthumbs:

Nicely done. I'm so old, I can barely get down on my knees, let along lay down and buff. Thank goodness I have access to a lift.

Again, very nice.
