Garlic 1st Gear April 23, 2008 Author Share April 23, 2008 I wish, its a 1969 camaro! These single stage paints can really take lots of abuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcw75 Hypersonic April 23, 2008 Share April 23, 2008 I tink it looks more like a respray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear April 23, 2008 Share April 23, 2008 I also believe its a respray job.... Cos the first pic I can see a round spot where the paint had been removed, yet the after results the spot gone. No amount of polishing can bring back the lost paint.

Garlic 1st Gear April 23, 2008 Author Share April 23, 2008 (edited) Its not a respray, look at the rest of the posts, those guys earn their bread by restoring cars. These single stage paints are very different, that 1969 restoration took 3 solid days. This is another 1968 Camaro restoration, Source: http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthrea...ighlight=camaro Edited April 23, 2008 by Garlic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garlic 1st Gear April 23, 2008 Author Share April 23, 2008 (edited) Those classic car nuts value things which are original and made in that era, which is why many collectors only respray after exhausting other alternatives. Yes, its not perfect. A complete respray job over there cost thousands. Edited April 23, 2008 by Garlic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
