Quote: .. I am in agreement with everyone on here on the topside. Now the question is the bottom. My intention is to replicate primer/overspray as opposed to body color. If the top is "over restored" and the bottom is primer/overspray I still think that works...the guy I bought my GN from had an OE gold 67 GTX. Said he figured the point deduction for paint being too nice was worth it.
I agree, take the deductions. Especially if you don't intend on taking it for OE Level Nats Judging. Anything less will not be much of an issue.
I think bigger would be leaving the factory waves and welding spatter on the engine compartment and underneath it. Might be tough to do if you did some metal work on the car. Just don't get too anxious on the rotissere and start smoothing everything out.
To bad my car was painted in 1993. It's engine compartment is overdone.
