Have made corrections to paint imperfections that I have found. Corrected fish eyes to the best of my...

    Hey everybody. I've loved classic cars for as long as I can remember and I can finally afford one of my own (actually buying a Chevelle for the wife). The Chevelle is a full custom restoration by a father and son. They say they took the frame and body down to bare metal, coated the frame in...

    I have a 67 CA car that has some surface rust on the under side of the body and frame but nothing serious. I was going to take a wire wheel to frame, underside, and firewall and then spray with something to protect it. I have been looking at the Eastwood Rust Encapsulator Black Aerosol and then...

    I’ve sanded the dash with 80 grit and I plan on painting with SPI black epoxy. After that will I need a high build primer before a base coat? What color black is recommended? Then a 2k clear coat? for 70s chevelles i think SEM brand Landau Black is recommended.

    I just got my '66 back on the road after sitting in various states of repair for many years. However you can see some grease or other stains on the white paint in some places, especially on the front fenders and door area (from our hands, etc...) Some of it may have been sitting a while. I...

    Hi guys, I have a big problem with my paint that I think its solvent pop. I had done the body work and used some Evercoat gold filler and all appeared fine. I took it to a local body shop for paint months later. They said they needed to do some additional body work. They did some more “filler”...

    I'm about to get paint on my 71 Malibu. I don't wanna clone an SS but I love stripes and graphics to break up the large panels. Like Heavy Chevy or Yenko in the '60s (probably my favorite), but I don't want to clone those either, know what I mean? Does anyone have photos of cool options for...

    I used everything from left to right: Rubbing Compound, Cleaner Wax, First attempted ultimate compound and then used the polishing compound twice and no difference with either, then cleaner wax, then the wax. I tried my best to take pictures of the scratches but they are about as deep as say...

    My '71 Malibu was bought with an "ok" paint job. A little orange-peel and ok looking. But it's had key scratches down one side since before I bought it. There's a hole clear through the hood from a lame A/C place, and small chips and cracks all over. From one hot summer (this is a daily driver...
