Certification Paint Question: Can you tell me the different point deduction on a car that was painted single stage or base clear coat?
Response from Bloomington Gold: No, we can’t! The reason is this: we don’t care what you paint it with. We only care that it appears no better, no worse, no different from what it looked like when it left the St. Louis factory in 1965. If you can get it to be almost undetectably different from a factory paint job in terms of texture, gloss, shade and thickness, then you will be given full credit, regardless of what type paint you use. However,, the more detectable any or all of these variations become, the more penalty you will receive, even if re-painted with original lacquer.
