That’s looking great. I had an 89 RS in bright blue. Can’t wait to see yours sprayed.

Johnny,
I know I sound like a broken record...but...."I am so stoked about this car. I have never been this excited about a vehicle since I got my license back in 1971 and had my first car...1955 Chevy."....STOKED!!!

Thanks Z4,
I appreciate your visits and your comments!

Spent a little time at Basic Body and Paint this morning checking on "Blu BiYu" and her progress. This is how I found her...Block Sanding done and ready for masking. Then Clark Gick begins his magic. Let's see...8 coats of primer, 4 trips block sanding, filling, sanding, finish sanding, etc....
I have been asked by several, "Aren't you done painting YET!?!?"...My response, "Not yet....You DARE NOT rush perfection! If you do, what you WILL receive is WAY LESS than perfection!". Knowing Clark Gick as I do, He will settle for nothing less than his best..And his best is PERFECT for myself & �� "Blu BiYu" ��
Thanks buddy! Keep up the great work!!

Default Lovin' the Blu!

Lovin' the Blu...
After spending the day with Jackson Edward running errands, we made our way to Basic Body and Paint. One can only imagine the look on my face when I turned on the lights in the booth and opened the door. 💙WOW💙
Clark Gick, you outdid yourself on "Blu BiYu". She looks awesome in her new coat of 1989 Camaro Brite Blue. She should be some different in the sunlight with that Pearl that you added...💙💙
I have no doubt she will be turning heads with her new Pearl Interior, AR Torque Thrust D wheels, Red Calipers peeking through the spokes...and yes, her brand new chrome that will dress her for the "Ball" along with her new 2 1/2" Pypes Exhaust that makes her sound like the GTO she isn't 😎....Thanks again Clark, for a job well done....Until you are better paid my friend! ❤️🙏❤️

Kurt,
Now THAT'S what we have been waiting for( although nowhere near as much as you). Your car will be nothing short of spectacular when all done.

Very productive day yesterday at Basic Body and Paint...
Spent the entire day nibbing and 1000 grit sanding the entire car. Clark can now lightly color her and clear her for the final time....

Almost the same color as mine.

Maybe yours has a little more gray in it.

Nice to see folks save these "non GTO`s". I was gonna go the clone route years ago. Changed my mind. These LeMans cars look good already and are disappearing because they are robbed for parts.

Same for the big car tri powers. I was at a Pontiac event back in the day. Jim Wangers was there. I remember him asking, "where`s all my 4 barrel GTO`s" ?
