Well after a day of driving the car is dropped off. The paint guy sprayed out several samples and after taking his counsel we settled on a blue/gray Ford color. It was used on trucks and Mustangs in the late 2000s. I am really pleased with the shop and the professionalism I was shown today. I know it seems like waffling on the color but rather than just punch forward with a color I liked on paper he took the time to show me how things would really look and it really helped me tie the car together in my mind.

No when I looked at the Tempest Custom seat covers in blue I realized they were nothing like the Lemans color. I decided to go with black.

What years and models of Fords was the color used on? Curious as to what color it actually is.
So it's a non-metal flake color? .

It is Charcoal Blue Metallic. It’s got a lot of blue in it, more so than gray but it looked great sprayed on my sail panel I am really excited about all this coming together finally.

My '65 GTO is factory Blue Charcoal Poly. I had it repainted in 1985 so this paint is over 35 years old but still looks okay. It's a great color on these cars and looks contemporary today.

The bodyman has contacted me 4 times today with questions about different things. All totally to do with my “vision” for the car. He said he will send pictures of the work at the end of the week, if I am pleased then I pay for a weeks work and so on. As y’all know from the other sections that I had problems with Classic Pontiac Rescue and ended up having to sue him. This guy is the total polar opposite. So far so good. He says it’s almost totally stripped and as of yet no surprises.

The progress must make you feel good. I know it would me. Too many horror stories about “Body Shop Hell” happen to guys.

Everyone said I was crazy for driving 8 hours but this guy has a sterling reputation and after I talked to him on the phone several times and saw his work and turn around time I knew this was it

Had you thought about having it media blasted vs just sanding it?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
