57' Ranchero w/427

[Greg Nichols]

Here is a local guys car. A very fun car to work on since the paint had 8 coats of clear and it was painted 15 yrs ago, this stuff was very hard to get correction.



Process:



CG Citrus Wash and Gloss

Clay with ONR



Orange CCS pad on a rotary



OHC 1000 - 1500

OP 1000 - 1200



Opti Seal



No real need for any befores, the first two pictures are of the paint and correction, he did not want to pay for full correction right now but plans on it later.

This was very fun to drive, it has a 427 that puts close to 480 at the wheels. Its a heavy car for sure. When I was working the panels the panels did not do the normal pop or flex when pressure or heat gets to it.



Cheers,

I'd use wool with the OHC and I'd move in the 1800-2200 RPM range when correcting a hard one like this. You have plenty of paint to play with...

That is a slick ride and you did a great job!!!!

I will work on it again, he just wanted it ready to do some cruzing. I will work it to make it perfect and show ready paint reflections.



Thanks for the info there Bence.
