Elements: 1958 – 1960 Thunderbird custom

May 02, 2016 in Elements

I've seen this car show up at a few local car shows, but I haven't had a chance to meet the owner. I love the 60’s custom look of it, but what really makes this car is the orange metal flake paint. I honestly don't think I’ve ever seen flakes this big in a car finish. It has a depth unlike any pearl or candy finish. I'm fascinated by it. I’d love to talk to the owner, or better yet the painter, and get the back story what it took to get this look. When it happens, I'll be sure to post a follow up.
