Paint and body
Just wanted to give a giant shoutout to SheetMetal Mafia in Central Florida. After having Gary H straighten out my RA IV I began looking for a shop to bring back the appearance of the car. It had original paint but I am not a patina guy. Everybody was 18 to 24 months out. Joey Picone, the owner of this shop said he would be honored to work on a 1970 Judge. He was of course weeded with lots of work but he got me in 2 weeks later. I just picked it up 6 weeks later. Car sat indoors,I checked frequently,and car now looks better than day 1.. if anyone requires this type of work you will not be disappointed

I’m thinking 6 weeks is not enough time to let the solvents evaporate out of the primers used before laying down the color, hopefully I’m wrong.
As long as the paint job doesn’t start bubbling up a few months or years down the road I’d say you did very well.

Mainstream shops do it all the time so I’m sure it will be fine.

Paint and body
I wii post pictures once I get all the stuff I took off back on. Car looks good to me. I am 71 so not overly concerned if it holds up ten years. Wanted it to look good while I can still push the clutch in. Put tailights back in today. Little at a time

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.
