1987 GNX, Paint Correction and Americoat Application

[RaskyR1]

I love these cars!

Having owned a G Body car myself, I was very excited to work on this one. The paint condition was about average for a black car of this age, but a few panels had been resprayed at different times over the years, and a few of them presented me with one of the most challenging paints I’ve ever had to finish down on. After pulling my hair out trying many, many different combinations of pads, polishes, tools, and techniques, I found a process that worked on those few finicky panels.












50/50, final polish still needed to be done










Some little piggies in a few areas that I wet sanded with 3000.







TA50 doing work on all the tight areas




All done





















































Thanks for looking,


Rasky

Regardless of what a lot of people think now, the 80s sure had some cool cars.
