custom blue
candy tints. DCU2021 Urethane Clear
topped off the finish. S & M Auto Body
painted the car, and Jerome Borris
created the complex artwork and graphics.
Pienta also did most of the work himself
on his Olds muscle car, including the paint
job, completely restoring it to 1971 specs.
To ensure the car's authenticity, Pienta
matched the 442's original Matador Red
color (PPG 71814), using Deltron DCC
topcoat and DCU2021 Urethane Clear.
The 19th annual Goodguys PPG Nationals
in Columbus, Ohio, saw two outstanding
cars claim the PPG Dream Car awards.
A 1929 Ford Model A street rod owned by
Dale Spangenberg III of Willoughby, Ohio,
and a 1971 Oldsmobile 442 owned by Ed
Pienta of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., were selected
for the best use of color, design, gloss and
execution in a paint job.
Spangenberg performed much of the work
on his Model A, along with Bill Evans and
John Labbato, through Spangenberg's
company, E & J Precision Fabrication. The
car's multi-toned blue finish was achieved
with the DELTRON
®
DBC system. Color
