Few cars carry the bold presence of a 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6, and thanks to Elijah Vaudt Custom Painting, this one shines like new again. Originally finished in red, the car had begun to lose its luster over the years. Elijah set out to restore its sleek, muscular appeal, and chose Tamco Paint’s GM Bright Red | 81 / 8774 | 1984-2003 | OEM Basecoat to recapture its timeless look.
To ensure a flawless foundation, Elijah applied HP5312 White DTM (Direct to Metal) Primer Kit, followed by the rich GM Bright Red basecoat. Finally, he sealed the finish with HC2104 High Solids Clearcoat, locking in a deep gloss that highlights the aggressive curves of the WS6. The result is a stunning restoration that not only brings back the car’s original allure but elevates it with a fresh, vibrant finish that’s ready to turn heads once again.
