Subject: Here's what a little elbow grease can do - 56K Beware lots of pics by Danspeed1 on 2008/4/24 4:21:53 This is my 1989 Corvette, that is in desperate need of a paint job amoung other things. I am in desperate need of a high paying job. So we have a really big problem. The paint on my car is pretty bad. Looks to be a repaint, maybe, twice over. Probably an Earl Sheib job or Maaco. There are imperfections in the paint which made this detail particularly hard. Although the car is far from perfect, it is a good 3 footer, and should get me through most of the summer before the car is either sold or repainted in the fall. This thread should give you guys a good indication of what proper procedure and a little elbow can do for an old ratty paint job. Check it out....
