Bought the reflectix from Lowe's. A 25' roll was around $25 and that was more than enough to do the job. I used a spray-on adhesive to keep it in place, and silver "tape" (don't know what it's called - and, NO, it wasn't duct tape!!!) to connect the pieces together. Installing the reflectix was probably the easiest job so far!!

Thanks, everyone, for all the comments on my baby!

That is one beautiful vette...

The chrome and paint complement each other in such a way, the whole package pops

Your pics of the progression thru various stages do a good job of illustrating why it is expensive have quality paint work done.

Your beautiful end result tells why it is worth it. Very, very nice.
