70burntorangeT/A, that's real cool!
Hope you get a few chips and scratches all over the Chally, and voila, a new show quality paintjob! :naughty:  ;)

Well the paint on it is about 3 months old and my dad painted the car and it is SLICK, we painted the whole car and sanded it with 600 untill the entire car was dull, then sanded it with 1500 before applying 2 more coats of burnt orange, then 4 coats of clear, then sanded the whole car with 2000 untill it was completely dull then buffed it.        And if they scratch it i will just have to get a whole new paint job, because there is no way they could ever blend it if they did a spot job

My car is currently in a movie... that I'm acting it. And I've acted in some other movies. But they are all independent.

Make sure you don't sign any crazy papers. We always make people sign papers that we own their likeness in that film. Make sure you sign a "we repair damage" paper and not a "we might damage your car" paper. :) Just a heads up.

Before they even touch my car i will ahve to see some proof of insurance and have some papers signed that say they will repair any damages.

Be careful, very very careful.
I used to lend out my 2 1970 Plymouth pursuit cars to film and television and it ended badly.
Big company didn't think I would have a problem with CBS Productions, but a lot of companies will opperate under a sub company just for the duration of the production.
I returned to the lot where my cars were kept and found the lot full of burnt rubber in the form of burnout tracks and doughnuts around the lot. I looked around the lot and saw that the only cars that could pull that kind of destruction would be my two 440 pursuit cars.
I went to drive them out and found the engine had one broken push rod and the rear diff was cooked as in grinding. The second car had frame damage from being loaded on to a flat bed with the hooks hooked in thru the front subframe, then it looks like the operator pulled the car onto the flat bed and did not stop when the cars cop pushbars reached the flat beds front wall, tearing the subframe about 6 inches.
to make a long story short when i went to make claim on the damages the sub company stiffed me and a few other companies and people by closing the sub company and going bankrupt.
Another time I had rented my 74 Dodge Monaco original black and white bluesmoble to a film company and when I returned they had painted a horrible white, very cheaply done,ruining the original paint. I got $500.00 for that one, which didn't come close to my loss.
I have had other guys tell and show me damage from film companies, grips drilling holes in fenders to mount cameras etc.
It's not the producer or the transportation guys it's the rest of the so called artist and slackers that think everything is at there disposal because they are making a movie.
Be careful, very very careful.

That's a pretty cool opportunity to have, but it would suck if they damaged it in any way then tried to stiff you on the repairs.  Good luck with getting all the proper legal documents and hopefully you can say your car is a movie star in the near future. :biggrin:

Sounds like a real nice paintjob!  :2thumbs:
Seriously though, I hope nothing will happen to your paint at all, hence the wink smiley.
Good luck with the shoot!
