Justin Baldwin once again proves why he’s a standout in the automotive painting world. For this project, he took a weathered vehicle and breathed new life into it using Tamco Paint’s Throwback Plum Crazy, a rich, bold hue that perfectly blends classic muscle car heritage with modern gloss and depth.
Starting with a smooth foundation, Justin applied HP5310 Grey DTM (Direct to Metal) Primer Kit to ensure maximum adhesion and durability. Once prepped, the car received an even, vibrant coat of Tamco Throwback Plum Crazy, skillfully reduced with HR Reducers for optimal flow and coverage. To lock in the shine and protect the finish, he topped it off with HC2104 High Solids Clearcoat, delivering a mirror-like gloss that turns heads from every angle.
The result? A show-stopping finish that captures the timeless allure of vintage automotive colors while showcasing the precision and artistry of a true craftsman. This isn’t just a paint job, it’s a rolling tribute to passion, skill, and the power of the perfect color choice.
