69 Camaro brought back to life...

Re: 69 Camaro brought back to life...

Hi Nick,

Can you share with everyone what you charged for this job?


Just to note, what Nick did is what we call,


"Taking a car's finish to it's Maximum Potential"


Nick restored the paint to it's maximum potential, the only other option would be a new paint job or nothing at all and often times a car owner would prefer to keep the paint the car already has, just make it look as good as it can.

That's exactly what I did. The owner of this car wanted to retain this finish if possible. He was already prepared to have it repainted, which is why he gave me the "go ahead" and didn't hold me accountable for any mishaps. I knew I could make it look better, but no one thought it would come out as good as it did.......even me

As far as price goes, I took it easy on him because he has a very large collection of cars(classics and exotics), and he likes for me to take care of them......meaning, he helps pay my bills on a regular basis Plus, he's always getting a new one in that needs attention. And I love to work on these cars!
I charged him $800, and it took me 3 1/2 days to complete.

Talk about bringing a thread back from the dead

Thanks for the compliments guys! Almost a year later, and my hands still hurt from doing this car

Re: 69 Camaro brought back to life...

Glad I'm not the only one that feels that way, Nick. Almost every job I've done, I've thought "I wish I had quoted them more money".

Excellent job on that Camaro. I did a '69 also, but the one I did was repainted in the 80's so it wasn't bad at all. You really brought that paint back. Incredible work. I see what Bob means about the before and after pics of the hood, though. In the before it looks like the upper left corner has a spot through to the paint. In the after I can't see it. Must just be a trick of the light though.

Nice job! So how does the paint look today after all these months?

Re: 69 Camaro brought back to life...

Yeah, it's hard to believe you didn't re-paint the thing. It's that big of a difference, very impressive man.
