78 Silver Aniversary

[Joe Wolfe]

I have been asked to strip and refinish a 78Vette. The owner says he doesn't want a show car or one that is 100% technically correct, however I don't want to destroy the value by using the wrong paint. My question is will a good quality Base Coat/ Clear Coat finish harm the value

I would say the base coat clear coat will not harm the value and probably will make the car look better than new. Since he's already said being totally correct is not an issue, I'd say base coat clear coat it is !

An additioonal consideration you may wish to pass along using BC/CC is today's guideline is that paint "look like lacquer." You may wish to offer this option to the owner if you're comfortable with the technique that can offer this option.
