Few cars capture timeless American muscle like the Corvette C3, and this 1980 model proves just how striking it can be with the right finish. Jason Jacobs elevated this classic beauty using Tamco Paint’s Ron Burgundy Pearl, a color that enhances the Corvette’s curves with a deep, elegant shimmer. The result is a ride that looks ready for the big screen, bold, stylish, and impossible to ignore.
The pearl’s richness adds both depth and sophistication, making the C3 stand out whether it’s cruising the open highway or rolling through city streets. With HR Reducers ensuring smooth application and Tamco’s HC4100 Glamour Clearcoat Kit sealing everything in with a glossy, durable shine, the Corvette’s finish is as lasting as it is eye-catching.
This project shows how a legendary car paired with Tamco Paint’s pearl line can create a masterpiece that honors heritage while delivering custom flair.
