I think everyone appreciates real paint, gold leaf, etc. I'll be the first to admit, I'm a graphic designer, not an "artist". Whoever Jack decides to go with I'm sure will do an outstanding job. Looking forward to seeing his vision completed!

The family business is signage for over 60 years. My uncle was a respected sign painter for his silver and gold leaf skills. Have and do known a few "brothers of the brush" in my 30 years. Spent many hours of my childhood watching my uncle letter as well as some of his contemporaries. Have held a brush but am more comfortable with nuts and bolts. Am good with computer graphics but not a designer.

ALL those and a few more like "Mr. J" from here in Paterson, NJ; DJ from Garfield, NJ; Bert from Oakland, NJ would do a great job. Keep in mind some are better businessmen than others, they are artists.

THE most important thing is spend some time looking through their portfolios to understand each artist's style. The best work will flow from "their" style. When style coalesces with your vision, develop a sketch and negotiate a deal.

Best of Luck! See you soon!

Jack, I'm sure there are dozens of custom paint & lettering people that are qualified out there...but I'm curious are looking at something old school or something newer...also what name are you going to be using on your Copo Camaro.

It will be old school for me but as for its name .....well , you're just gonna have to wait to see it as a finished product .That could be as soon as a few weeks from now at the Philadelphia Car Show .But it'll be worth the wait ...........
