Here are some pictures of a National Dynamic that I had custom painted by Wayne Jarrett who has done custom paint jobs for Billy Gibbons, Charlie Daniels, Alabama, Prince & more. I took a National Dynamic red/white & had him paint it to match a 1951 Pontiac that my father had restored & gave it to my father for Christmas a couple of years ago...Wayne used some of the same paint used on the car...

I'm not a big fan of refins but for this purpose all I can say is "too cool for words". Is the Dynamic a '51 model to match the Pontiac?

No the National Dynamic is not a '51...(My main player is a '51), it was one of the later 62 models...I have owned about 8 different Nationals...I have kept two, a '49 & the '51, and the one that I gave dad...These are sweet laps...I would have never repainted one except for a project like this for my father.

That is just a great thing to do. I'm a National fan myself. I own a New Yorker and am looking for Dynamic that I don't have to break the bank to buy.

Again, very nice project!
