1974 Nova SS - Challenge Accepted

[niteryder]

Customer brought in a straight up classic. 1974 Nova SS and the paint has seen way better days. It is in really rough shape. However, I think it will come out nice.

I wasn't kidding when I said the paint was bad. It's going to need some wet sanding in a few places as well.

I started on a small section in the back to see what I am dealing with. Spent about 2 minutes on it with Meg 105 and 205. It looks promising.

Awesome! My friend is restoring a 1972 Nova. He said once he gets it painted he will have me help him with the wet sanding and cutting and polishing. Cool car for sure!

Looking forward to some awesome 50/50 shots. Good luck.

Will you have the car ready for the Car Craft Summer Nationals this weekend? I'd love to check it out.

Let me know if you need anything.

It would be fun, but I'm taking extra time on this one (it needs it). We have some radio promo stuff starting today so those customers will be a priority.

Since I can't modify the first post..

Standard correction prep:

• Foam soak with Meg Hyper Wash (twice)
• Pressure wash
• Soak tar with APC
• Hand wash using Dawn
• Dry with air and microfiber
• Iron cut
• Hand wash again
• Clay
• Color correct using Meg 105 and 205
• Seal with Zaino (free sample)
• Wax

Some 50/50 shots.

Starting the seal.

Much better.

Nice and glossy, no need for oily glaze before M105?
