Hi,

I'm looking for someone to paint my '75 C3.  I live in Northridge CA.   Los Angeles County CA.  

Any ideas?   

Thanks

Dave

How about painting it yourself? I've got an '81 that I'm doing a complete restore on, have never painted a car before, and I painted it myself. Fortunately for me, the place that sold me the necessary materials is owned by a retired car painter so I was able to get LOTS of guidance. It was a pretty big undertaking for a beginner, but it turned out well and I'm no longer intimidated by the process. I found it quite satisfying to see it finished and know it was my hands that did it and I would imagine you would as well.

I personally would never attempt that.  YMMV.

I also painted my '75 (twice).  The biggest challenge in my mind is getting the surface flat before painting.  On a fiberglass car, particularly one like a Corvette where there are no flat surfaces, you can't use a wide sanding block, so it is not easy to get it all as flat as needed.

If you do decide to do it yourself, get a good HVLP spray gun and go for it.  There is nothing like being able to say "I did it myself."
