Re: back from paint

What I have into the paint still makes me queezy. I did most of the body work myself, and epoxy primed it, but still managed to get about 4500.00 into it, I would say I have 2500.00 into paint and material alone. The guy I had do it only will use the best stuff, all I can say is this dam Blazer better last forever. Good Base/Clear paint is rediculous in price nowadays

Your guy only sprayed it, how long it lasts depends on your prep work.

Looks great, nice color for a 1st gen.

Welcome to the board, enjoy the ride.
