Jim Davis brought a vision and craftsmanship to life with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, named "Hexen", and evolved into a full Tamco ground-up makeover under his shop, Davis Hot Rods. The project began with HP5312 White DTM (Direct to Metal) Primer Kit, followed by HP772 Black High Build Epoxy Primer Kit to ensure a solid and flawless base. From there, the build came alive with Basecoat Factory Packs (HB9901 Bright White) and Murdered Out Black 2.0. Contrast was added with Underhood Satin Black Single Stage Kit for that smooth sheen, while Smoke Metallic brought depth to the overall finish. To lock everything in, HC2104 High Solids Clearcoat Kit was used for delivering that signature gloss and durability.
Hexen took home "Best Street Machine" at the Starbird Car Show Tulsa 2026, proving the level of detail and execution behind the build. Also the car is set for a professional photo shoot with All Chevy Performance Magazine at Triple Rodding in Tennessee this September 2026. From concept to award winning showstopper, Jim Davis have created a masterpiece.
It is a strong example of how great craftsmanship combined with reliable products from Tamco Paint can create a finish that stands out on the big stage.
