Title: My 2017 Corvette Grand Sport
Post by: Robert on March 04, 2016, 01:35:22 AM: Hi Lambo Brothers. I wanted to show off my latest job at work. I swear to GOD I did the paint and body work on this 2017 Corvette Grand Sport! I get a cool one once in a while. I did the passenger side, my partner did the left side. The vette shipped to Geneva for an international auto show. If took a picture of it at work, I would get fired in a second.

Post by: eddie on March 05, 2016, 06:23:11 PM: one more question ,Why two painters to do a little car? I'm painter for last 30 some years and did many exotics ( I can proof by pics with me) the reason I do ask is, each painter has different strokes and moves . that color is more less HUE or high in pearl pigments. all you need is one guy does bit different move then other color is off , on top of it,it goes to international Auto show.
I would have my guy to cut and polish for a week . maybe I'm from the old school.
btw car is gorgeous exellent job+.
