Has anyone done a early C3 motion paint scheme on a 78-82 . I would like to see how it looks with the big back window. pic's would be great.

i will try it tonight when I get some time...probably late (post 9pm C.) I did try it last night and couldn't get it to show up good enough to see in detail...it just turned into a big shadow. I'll work on it though.
