Bill-V8V Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 After Dylan posted those pictures of his father C6 I was really inspired to get mine looking the best I could for this years show car season. And before anyone asks, I did NOT use Americana Paste Wax. I actually did that for a reason. I know it is great stuff but Buttery Wax is still so easy to use and the results always speak for themselves :2thumbs::2thumbs: Sorry Dylan but I don't have any palm trees to pose it in front of But I will get some better shots at the show Friday night. The lighting wasn't the best for these shots but I have been working way too many hours the last few weeks to wait for good sun :o:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Looks great Bill... well... great for a car I didn't do No, seriously it looks killer. That first pic shows exactly why I love JSBM so much... the subtle shifting in color depending on the degree you look at it. Not gawdy like the chameleon paint jobs, very subtle, and just beautiful. The chrome on the wheels almost looks fake its so clear. Are you gonna layer on some BSG? I would... always seems to add a little WOW on the metallic finishes. Oh... and it needs more palm trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill-V8V Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 My neighbor owns a body shop and is building a C3 resto-mod (LS3) for a customer and he called me to get the paint code cause he loves the color. After he looked up the cost of the paint they decided 1969 LeMans Blue would look real good :lolsmack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdutytd Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 LMAO, I would hate to look up how much the paint on my dad's Vesuvius Orange Ranger Rover would cost! I personally think my prowler (the utv) would look great painted in that orange color. I wonder how much it was LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCRANER Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Good Lord Bill, that looks fab-u-lus, fantastic, what a terrific job. ****, my vette looks like a dump truck compared to yours. That is really a masterful job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks everyone :thumbsup: It was really hard to take pictures today, that **** metal polish and BSG was throwing glare every where off of the chrome. Made taking pictures almost impossible. Most came out like this !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he saw my dads vette he decided he was going to incorporate that color into his two tone paint scheme... after seeing the cost of JSBM he decided on a HOC blue that was similar, but no where near as pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
