This past June, I loaded up the Camaro and took it to the paint shop, RF Customs (Spring, TX). I met with the owner, Ray Reitz, and looked at a few of their other projects going on in the shop. They had nice attention to detail, and seemed to only work on classic cars. I didn't want a paint shop that focused on mostly collision/repair work, as those places often back-burner our classic car jobs.
RF Customs would do the final trunk and door gap work, panel alignment, firewall smoothing completion, block/sand and paint the entire car and engine bay.
Working on trunk gaps:
The repro quarter panels needed a lot of work, door gaps weren't even close to matching the doors.
Ray spent a lot of time getting the door gaps perfect, as well as the trunk gaps. I should have the car back by October, which was a month ahead of our agreed date. No paint shop prison, amazing.
Welded up all the misc holes on the inner fenders, and filled in all the little dimples. I see a lot of high-end builds skip this step, when they shouldn't. Looks much better smooth!
