5 年Update. Project is moving forward at a great pace. Heritage hired Palmetto Dustless Mobile Blasting. These guys rocked. They worked tirelessly to meet our schedule. Check out the link below. Crazy what they can do with their rig from prepping cars for paint to making a house look like its white washed. https://m.facebook.com/PalmettoDustlessmobileblasting/ After three samples that Acrylabs provided, we came up with a color match that the association was happily with. Since then the crew has been working thru the challenges of the heat and humidity with a dedicated drive. Here is a shot of several cars with the finish coat. Looks great beside the fact it’s not Clemson orange.
