I dunno, I would guess if the quarter gets clear coated that the whole car is going to end up getting clear coated or it will not look very good. Maybe I'm wrong.

IS that winner stickers in the 1/4 window? Yes they are... They are I believe from the 1974 season. The car was parked the next year. I got it back on the road late last year for the first time since 1975. There is only 10K on the odometer.

Get someone who can blend a single stage metallic part. If a painter says it can't be done it just means they never learned how to do it. Makes me laugh out loud when I hear that.
Don't paint the door and trunk lid at all.
Neat car! What engine & Trans? 340 4-speed The color is B7 with a B5 interior. I'm agreeing with those who say to stay away from two stage paint. I'm wondering if I can find a shop locally that can do it right.

It's a survivor. I would leave it alone. Even though not 100% factory. Besides, the whole Patina is the "in" thing these days.

Yes it can be blended, but good luck finding a perfect match, not just color, but metal flake etc. Also anyone with a good eye will be able to see the blend area.
