60's Look Paint

[KevinM]

Bill,

Thanks, I think you hit the nail on the head.

In thinking about it, I remember we had to rub the cars out every couple of years because the paint surface would "chalk up". I suspect I am remembering the way the cars looked after a couple of years of sun exposure.

Sounds like a little over reducing or flattener would be all it would take to get to what they looked like new.

I do have one other question. How much do the low VOX reducers hurt the quality of the paint? Would it be worth sending the car to where they can use the standard reducers to have it painted? Does it make a significant difference in the quality / durability of the finish?

Thanks again for the help,

Kevin

Kevin,

The low VOX reducers do not hurt the quality of the finished job at all as long as they are combined with what the manufacturer calls for in combination.

Wrath of Bill ...As for production, yes, it is a rare occurance that I take on projects such as this due to time and labor constraints. However, we still do them on occasion.......
