Thanks. Honestly it’s a good 10-15 footer. I should have practiced with the metallic/pearl but I chalk this up as tuition for the school of DIY. I learned a ton and the next time I paint with a color like this it will be significantly better
@@SoloAscent Body work and paint look sooo good. Really kool to see a Vette done in a true Kustom color. I’ve got an ‘11 Inferno Orange GS…still debating throwing some pearl accents.
@@Teacher659 are you an auto painter? My paint looks pretty amazing from some angles and could use improvement from others. I learned a bit. I might end up repainting it next summer.
@@SoloAscent Yes sir I am. I’m retired but still do projects. I started with Lacquer back in the 70s. My first addiction to Kustom paint came from going to the indoor Joe Kizas Autorama shows as a kid, also the Frank Marrata shows in Hartford Conn. I learned by buying all the MetalFlake corporation paint I could afford as a kid. Still have a plastic container of Mirra, a glittery flake. The angle thing you’re talking about may be “Flop angle.” Some metallics look great head on, but sideways they look flat with no noticeable flake’s.
Well done. The color is amazing. Great choice. At least the door issue is on the passenger side. You won’t have to look at it every time you get in the car. 😂
Incredible job!! I love the black stripe! When can I drop off my Corvette to have you do the same paint job??? It will be better than a punch in the neck…which I probably need!!!😂
It will turn out better than mine. That was my first time ever spraying a metallic/pearl and I learned a lot from it and I know how I would make this job better already. My bet would be yours will turn out even better. If you have questions, DM me at my IG instagram.com/soloascent?igsh=MTAxcHc4YTc3bWVzMA%3D%3D&
Have been waiting a long time for a video. You are inspiring all the hard work you’ve done. Looks like the paint turned out great. Nice job.
Update on paint coming soon and some other odds and ends on it.
That thing is GORGEOUS.

Looks gorgeous from where I am sitting. Love the look with the stripe and the TT wheels ❤
It’s interesting. At some angles it is amazing at others I think I sprayed poorly. I might end up redoing it and sorting out the blemishes
Wow. That looks great.
Simply awesome. Need to go for a drive before winter!
Now I gotta learn how to tune it!
Kustom painter here…That color is KILLER! Had a 78 TA close to that color. Beautiful, can’t wait for an outside in the sun vid.😎
Outside view is coming soon. Maybe one week away. It will mostly be back together again.

looks great
Thanks!
Awesome job! I laughed out loud a couple of times at your comments - great video!
Thanks, Mike. I conveniently edited out the sweet words when my pants grabbed the wet painted door.
What a time-consuming job! I think it turned out pretty good. Thank you for taking us along and may God bless you.
Very time consuming! Thanks! I’ll take all the blessings I can get!
I like it, nice work.
Thanks!
Enjoy your Vette!!! Fantazztik Paint!
Thanks!
Great stuff im in the process of repainting my 74 now, fixed alot of stuff with the smc carbon fibre stuff, works great, but its alot of work😅
Thats Awesome! All your hard work is about to pay off!
It is fun to see it in the sun.
Looking good.
Thanks! It’s coming along..
Wow...nice transformation...
Thanks!
Well done. The color is amazing. Great choice.

I like your perspective!!
Great job
Thank you. Definitely a learning process.
I love the paint color. Looks like a 70s Hot Wheel car. Dont stress about any imperfections if its just a driver.
Definitely just a driver. One day I’ll get the painting right
Incredible job!! I love the black stripe! When can I drop off my Corvette to have you do the same paint job??? It will be better than a punch in the neck…which I probably need!!!😂
🤣 I’m guaranteed to ruin your paint!
that gold looks fast. i bet you could do a wheelie in that thing now
Oh, there’s gonna be wheelies and dukes of hazard jumps
I bought some House of Kolor solar gold (metal flake, no pearl) for my C3, I hope it turns out as nice as yours.
