Yeah, he is one of the best for sure.

The amount of detail to get a true tromp l'oeil paintjob must take years of practice. It's so interesting how an attempt that doesn't quite hit the mark is completely obvious from 100 feet. My girlfriend who knows (cares) nothing about cars or paint and could instantly tell which trucks I was showing here were fake patina or not. I thought that was pretty interesting.
