Okay, guys...here's a job that you can really flame me on. I shot a 67 vette coupe for a friend of mine in 1976 (Milano maroon) in lacquer. It was a sand and shoot over original paint. At the time, he bought 2 more gallons of paint "for the next time" and kept it in the furnace room...I guess he flipped the cans every 3 months and according to his son, EVERY 3 MONTHS. Sadly, he passed a couple of years ago. His son took over the can flipping, I guess. Last fall he came to me and wanted us to repaint his dad's car with this paint. I hadn't seen the car for years and told him it wouldn't work for many reasons as you can guess. Well, he brought me the paint and IT SEEMED FINE????? So we took a small amount and shot a door I had laying around and put it out behind the shop in the weather all fall and winter. It looks fine. To make a long story short, we are going to repaint his dad's car with the paint his dad "saved" for all these years. I feel the Karma will allow this job to work, so here's to you George...we're painting the coupe again
