Muscle car paint appearance
So what look do you like?
Custom paint: slick sand and more slick sand with that jelly bean monolithic show paint that is a mile deep and with out a flaw? Semi custom: slick sand straight with out loosing factory sharp crisp lines done in base clear? 1960-1970 factory paint and detail with all its imperfection and lacquer paint? Other? There is no right answer!

Without a doubt... factory paint and detail with all its imperfection and lacquer paint!

It depends on the car .. It is a 100 point car I like to see orange peel
If its a car that is personalized maybe slightly day 2 then the Semi custom is cool to se If the car is an all out resto mod then it should have mile deep custom paint

I prefer the orange peel and inconsistent finish of the original hand painted cars from the 60s. Why? I’m not good enough to paint it any other way!!!

I prefer the original "sheen" of the factory single stage paint versus the overly glossy "candy lollipop" look of modern two stage paints.

I like the look of lacquer paint on original cars orange peel and all. Their are painters that can duplicate look with modern paint.

I do not like the "patent leather" shoe look of the base coat clear coat paints on restored muscle cars. I feel that there should be a deduction in judging points for those cars.
It is not that they do not look good, it is over restoring to the max.

It's what I do for a living. Some frame offs done here but tons of factory style paint jobs on high end cars.
I rarely, and I mean very rarely, do I ever get a customer that wants the factory finish complete with orange peel and overspray. In the last 10 years I can say there were 2. Almost everyone, regardless of the car in question, wants them sanded and buffed to perfection, and 90% of them want base/clear, which I recommend anyway if lots of buffing is in the cards and the color has any metallic in it. So while the pole here may be very small, I'll say without a doubt the majority of people want their cars slick and shiny. Can't say I blame them with the cost of materials and labor these days to actually do a car correctly, they don't want them coming out of here looking like they did 50 years ago with crappy panel gaps, runs, overspray, orange peel etc... LOL However I do appreciate a car done in that manor. It's actually more time consuming with research and techniques. |
