Inside the BG Paint Lab

Only a handful of video crews have ever been inside the Corvette Paint Lab. GMnext takes you behind closed doors revealing the intricate process behind painting a car.

That requires another clearance level. Only extra-special people get to see that

Re: Inside the BG Paint Lab

Actually, five Fests ago, I and a group of nine others were allowed into the paint shop on a very special tour. Two employees were painting front quarter panels and of course Dickie said in his quiet voice ( if you believe he has a quiet voice...), "Hey, where is the orange peel button?" The employees were not happy and started to come over to us whereupon we beat a hasty retreat.
