Well when it got to Michigan, not so much. A friend of mine did the body work, and another friend who painted a couple high end cars for other friends of mine painted this black beauty last week. Not too many real black 69 Road Runner converts out there. Not sure if Iam going to keep it or sell it. These were taken this morning. 7010998-rm27x9.jpg (159 downloads) -------------------- RM27H9G 4 speed F8/tan guts RS27L9G auto B5/black guts WM23H9G auto F5/green guts 2021 Challenger 392 Indigo/black guts 2019 Charger Daytona R/T F8 on black 2018 Ram Sport Hemi 4x4

I almost bought this car in 1996 when it was in Tennessee, but at the time could not afford it. Cant wait to start putting it together! 7011004-rm27x91.jpg (83 downloads) -------------------- RM27H9G 4 speed F8/tan guts RS27L9G auto B5/black guts WM23H9G auto F5/green guts 2021 Challenger 392 Indigo/black guts 2019 Charger Daytona R/T F8 on black 2018 Ram Sport Hemi 4x4

It is easy to manage as far as buffing, and since it is only going to be a show car, it will not be out in the sun a ton other then a occassional weekend car show. Plus the cost was less. I bought the car as not needing paint, and it was terrible. You could have rolled in on better then it looked. Maaco would have been a better job then the way it was. It now stands tall. -------------------- RM27H9G 4 speed F8/tan guts RS27L9G auto B5/black guts WM23H9G auto F5/green guts 2021 Challenger 392 Indigo/black guts 2019 Charger Daytona R/T F8 on black 2018 Ram Sport Hemi 4x4

So single stage gives a better finish but doesn't hold up as well ? YES,, it does NOT have the UV protectant, that basecoat clear does,, most of your high end cars go or are going this route,since they only get 500-2000 miles per uyear on them , paint it,, cut it with 800- 1000-on up to 2000-++ up,, then buff it!! yes it looks sick when done,, the rod shop i blast for has done 4 black cars this past 6 months,,, one is factory pontiac light weight race car 64 catalina,(i think), sick
