The thread sems to have taken a pleasant turn with everybody agreeing to see things their own way, which doesn`t always happen with threads like this.

Darnit...........now you`ll *never* buy vintage!!!!!!! Guess you`ll have to suffer with souveran...oops....:soscared::bolt
lbls1- My mechanic wants his floorspace back, so the Jag might be coming home soon. Gee, I might really have to make up my mind about this stuff

It`s a good idea to stick with Vintage over the pricier options as well. No one seems to like Royale, other than its former user across the pond.

Accumulator, that`s great news!!! Seems that your restorer caught on about you using his garage for storage space (not a bad trick).
Me and Accumulator know that he`s loaded........but I would at least encourage him (like others) to compete brands. Yada like I said countless times....for that kind of coin you want to see an improvement, and not necessarily just by washing.
Also.....I have a really good hunch that Accumulator is well versed with a few of the nubas on the market......so he`s well *prepped* (to take the bait haha).

I still wonder if there`s any point in using such stuff on the *FAR*-from-perfect original paint on my toys :think: We always say how prep is ~95% and the Jag and RX-7 just can`t be prepped all that well :nixweiss
As I always say...If you were here doing my drivers with the stuff I`d probably be onboard, at least to see what I think of it first-hand.
Oh boy..........
Well if you include an all expense paid trip...heck wy not lol!!!!
Pal...remember....Its *Paint*, then *Prep*, and then *LSP*. Za Paint gets the bulk of the 100% credit for the result (I dare say 75-80%)....always. Prep equalizes what you already have, and then the lsp details the fine aspects of the paint finish.
But...that argument has run thin for you at the moment, as it seems that the jag is about done huh.....
Why not invest in a quality paint depth gauge and do repeated applications of a light polish until you`re happy? What`s the point of original, ugly paint? It`s going to need to be perfected at some point.
I told him that too awhile ago......but Accumulator likes arguing with me lol!!!!!!! I would never repaint an *acceptable* original finish.....unless I were doing a total restoration with a A1 reputable body and paint operation. Original paint may not necessarily look the best, but try getting 100% consistency (exterior, color match, door jambs, trunk, and paint in concealed areas) from your typical repaint........very hard to find that level of work cost effectively!!!!!!!!
