I`m taking delivery of my 1977 Mercury Monarch tomorrow.
I want to try buffing it out before I paint it. The paint I`m using goes on over existing paint, but the finish depends on the paint below it. It`s John Deere "Blitz Black" satin paint. It doesn`t require a primer. It`s more for durability, and mainly to keep that hot rod, satin black look.
It has original paint, and has been outside its entire life.
It`s safe to assume it hasn`t been waxed since the 1990`s.
Surprisingly, the rust is minimal.
However, the paint is hardcore oxidized. It looks like it has oxidation on top of oxidation.
If I use Meguiar`s M85, with a W4000, and the Makita at 2000, will it be enough to get rid of all of it?
I`m trying to avoid the wet-sanding. It doesn`t have to be perfect. Just smoothed out quite a bit, to make the next paint look marginally better.
I also have some Meguiar`s Velocity MV80 and MV81, from my yacht detailing... those are pretty burly though.
