After less than a year, I have discovered what I consider to be the ultimate problem. Rust.
I ordered the spatter paint from The Parts Place that was said to not require a clear coat over it and had it put into my car during the restoration. It looked awesome.
Now, less than a year later I can see rust starting to show throughout the trunk. I have no idea what to do at this point. I discovered it about 2 months ago and have walked away from the car in disgust. It is no fun to even sit in it now. I just get angry.
I spoke with the body shop who is blaming the paint manufacturer and The Parts Place who is blaming the body shop. The fix cost for this I would think will run into the many thousands of dollar.
I doubt I am even going to bother to go to the Pontiac Nationals at Norwalk this year because of it.
Why the F did I even bother doing this over the past 4 years if this is the end result?
