`63 Black Corvette Split Window Coupe....

**imported_Luster** · 08-13-2009, 03:14 PM

This was a paint correction on a "Survivor" original 1963 Corvette Coupe, 327/340hp. Original paint, 72,000 miles.

The paint was oxidized, but I`ve definitely seen worse.

Process:

Washed with ONR
Claybar with Zaino Clay
M105 by PC7424XP with LC Orange
M205 by PC7424XP with LC White
IPA wipedown
Z5P (ZFX`d) x2
Z8

Just a couple befores:

VERY nice work, as always, Bill. One question, is the M105 and M205 "dummy proof"? By that I mean, when using with the PC7424, can you possibly burn the paint beyond major repair? I have some scratches that the BF Polish wouldn`t get out, but I`m always paranoid to get anything too abrasive.

And......don`t you ever get a customer with a Yugo to detail? How do you always get these pristine classics?

I don`t know if anything is dummy-proof!!!! I`ve never seen anyone burn any paint with a PC using any polish or compound. That doesn`t mean it couldn`t be done. I`ve seen some VERY thin paint that I barely touched and it nearly went through, so every case is different.

But the PC is probably the safest machine you can use.

As to your second question... never a Yugo, but I have done some pretty nasty mini-vans. I don`t write them up as much because they don`t do much for me. Now Vettes and classics? Oooohhhh Yeeaaahh!:thumbup:

I like that Bryan, from now on Luster is offically known as MCB or Muscle Car Bill...

Awesome work my friend on (IMO) one of the epitomes of Americana, up there with Apple Pie and Baseball...

great work on a great car! It`s nice to see an "original". So many people have started doing "resto-mods". I can understand why people like that as well, just great to see a real survivor.

I wish I could get 1 of those classics for every 20 disgusting minivans I get. I would settle for that and be happy:clap:

I hate seeing a Mini-Van pull up. But I need to do some every once in a while so I don`t get spoiled!!!:w00t:
