Just thought I would post up some pictures of the 69 Camaro that we just finished a complete repaint on. The car was built by Rich Bermea at Road Touring Customs in Gilroy CA and the build is amazing except for the paint which was originally done by a local body shop in Gilroy. The owner Eric loved everything about the car expect the poor body & paint. The paint on the p/s quarter panel had already begun to crack just a few weeks after it was delivered back to RTC to be assembled. The body panel were not straight and they had only cut the car with 2000 grit before buffing. So I was contacted to see what could be done to fix the poor body and paint. I picked the car up on may 4th and began stripping the p/s quarter to see why the paint and filler had already begun to crack. There was 3/8" thick filler on the quarter and in spots it was over 1/2" thick in spots.




Once the mud was stripped I found spots in the quarter where the body shop had ground right through the metal and then just covered up the holes with filler! no wonder the paint was already cracking
