'65 Malibu Convertible, Amazing Paint
I can't tell if this paint job is 40 years old, or recent.... The modern speed parts have me wondering.
If it's recent, I would be amazed there are guys out there who still know how to spray these paint jobs.... Link to 1965 Malibu Convertible auction |

I love watching Joe Martin spray his paint jobs on the iron resurrection show. I like his wife also.

On a side note about old school painting..Pete Santini (I have been a fan of his forever-my wife had a mini truck painted by him before we knew each other) is still putting out old school paint work
This is a speedboat he just completed this past week: This is a Supra he did on the 80's that's still around...this is a recent picture This is a funny car he just completed Last one is my pic of Pete's Firebird at Anaheim Convention Center car show in 1978

As a kid growing up with an artistic bent, that is what I dreamed of doing for a living - custom paint jobs. Life didn't turn out that way, however...

This car is local to me - I thought I recognized it from a show last year. The paint looks to me like it's in too nice of shape not to be a recent paint job. Back in the day they used lacquer for those types of paint jobs, and after 30-40 years it would probably be showing a lot of crazing and cracking at this point. In any case, it's a very well executed ride.
And FWIW, the "outlining" techniques used on most of the panels on this car are relatively straightforward for a good custom painter to execute. The tricky ones are the ones that incorporate lace and other patterns, drop shadows, realistic flames, and other intricate details. Still pretty cool in an old-school kind of way.
