James Badalian of Jim’s Speed Shop brought new life to a classic with his custom-painted 1972 Chevrolet Nova, using Tamco Paint’s Tamgerine Pearl. This vibrant hue added a bold and unforgettable twist to the muscle car, creating a high-impact finish that radiates energy and style.
With the help of HR Reducers for optimal application, the result is a flawless coat that highlights both the curves of the Nova and the depth of the pearl. A true testament to James’s craftsmanship and Tamco’s standout custom color lineup, this Nova is impossible to ignore.
