Few cars embody vintage American muscle quite like the 1984 Monte Carlo SS. Known for its timeless design and loyal fan base, this classic recently received a stunning transformation at the hands of painter Jay Morris. His work seamlessly blended modern paint technology with vintage charm, resulting in a breathtaking custom finish.
For this build, Morris selected Tamco Paint’s Ron Burgundy Pearl, a color choice that couldn’t be more fitting. The deep, rich hue highlights the sleek lines of the Monte Carlo’s bodywork, giving it a refined yet bold personality. The metallic pearl effect ensures the car captures light from every angle, enhancing its presence both on the road and at shows.
The transformation began with a solid foundation, using HP661 Grey DTA Epoxy (Direct to Anything) Kit and HP5310 Grey DTM (Direct to Metal) Primer Kit to ensure maximum adhesion and durability. Once prepped, the body was coated with Ron Burgundy Pearl, reduced to the perfect spraying consistency with HR Reducers. To finish, Morris applied HC2104 High Solids Clearcoat, delivering depth, protection, and a long-lasting glossy shine. The process was streamlined with the help of Tamco T-Cups - Spray gun cup liner system, making the job efficient and precise.
The final result is nothing short of spectacular. The Ron BurgundyPearl finish not only modernizes the Monte Carlo SS but also pays homage to its vintage roots, creating a one-of-a-kind classic that commands attention. Jay Morris’ craftsmanship and the superior quality of Tamco Paint’s products prove once again why they’re the go-to choice for custom automotive work.
