Ok, the guy that did this was a very good friend and customer. He is now deceased, and is missed by all that knew him. Having said that, I actually am an eye witness to a man who painted a Maserati with a brush. This story is told with no evil intent - I just remembered it because of a poster in the model car section who kind of got flamed at for painting a plastic model with a brush. Well, my friend painted the real thing with a brush. Joe Tynsky was the chief engineer at the Bureau of Indian Affairs hospital in Ada, Oklahoma. He had a love of unusual cars - had a Mini at one time, I think, and maybe a Cortina GT. Anyway, he found a Maserati which was about half restored and then given up on. It was in gray primer when he got it. Joe got worried that maybe the primer was collecting moisture, so one fine Saturday morning came there the day he would do something about it. In white. With a 5" house painting brush. I do not know the brand of paint. Yes, brush marks, and also thin spots where you could still see the gray were in evidence. I do not know what eventually came of the car, but does anyone have knowledge of this car or its fate?
Sorry, I don't have any and have lost track of the family 20 years ago. It was a 3500GT, and that is about all I know. James
Maybe the fact that it was an Oklahoma license in Ada, Okla. would be a key. I think the year would have been about 1980 +- 2.
Yes, privately with me! From the beginning in 1926 to the Khamsin. NO Indy, Kyalami, Quattroportes and ...definitily NO Biturbo of any kind! Ciao! Walter
There was a guy at my HS with a 70's rustbucket (Chevy Nova?) that he painted bright green with a brush. They called it Kermit.
