Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. I was pretty pumped when the owner said I could drive it to a local park for some pics! Man that car sounds mean!!!

Was that basecoat/clearcoat paint or something else?

There are lots of sharp edges on a mid year corvette like that. You really need to be careful not to sand or buff throught the paint. You obviously handled that very well.

Great save on a beautiful car!

Thank you!

Yes the car was BB/CC and was done about 3.5 years ago. The painter applied 3 coats of clear using a HVLP style gun, and the car had not been buffed since it was initially done by the painter. The owner and I were both confident there was more than enough clear on the car.

On top of knowing the history of the paint, I also taped off all edges and sharp bends about 1/4 of an inch back while sanding to eliminate the chance of sandng or buffing through. I removed the tape for the last 2 buffing steps though.

The paint is absolutely gorgeous on that car! Sharp work as usual!

Those wheels...should have never been put on that car though, IMO. lol

The owner has asked me if I would want to drive the '68 Vette and follow him down the the "Back to the 50's" car show in June.....hmmm, let me think?

LOL....let me re-phrase that. He asked if I would like to take my fiancee along and follow him and his g/f with the '68.

I'll be sure to bring my camera and get some pics. Back to the 50's has around 10,000 cars!!!
