There is something special about seeing a classic car get a second life. Chris Skaggs absolutely nailed it with restoring 1987 Chevrolet Caprice using Tamco Paint's GM Medium Garnet Red.
To get that flawless finish, Chris started with a solid foundation using HP5310 Grey DTM Primer, which helps the paint bond perfectly to the metal. The real magic happened at the end when he applied three layers of HC2104 High Solids Clearcoat. This not only gives the car a deep, mirror-like shine, but also adds a thick layer of protection to keep the paint safe from the elements for years to come.
The final result is a perfect example of what happens when you combine great eye for color with the meticulous craftmanship. This Chevrolet is now total head turner that feels elegant and top-tier.
