    Some of you may remember that my '72 vette I painted myself some years ago was backed over by a jacked up pickup, and so I finally got it fixed after 3 months time....it's just a Macco paint job.... so the shine is too much with high gloss, revealing every possible flaw or paint gun hesitation...
