'64 Red Corvette Convertible... Paint Correction!

YikesX_X. Those befores were nasty.

You brought her back to all of her glory. Angelo was right. You are becomming the Corvette King of the Mid-West.

That's the color a Vette should be!

Beautiful car Bill. Very nice save <

Wow, just wow! You did that save with a Griot's using the KBM?! Amazing. I need to learn that method.

Great Job Bill!

Way to go Bill....Just the way red should look on a classic like that...

 

[imported_RickRack]

Wow, what a difference!

Great job Bill!

I have a bunch of older Vette's that I need to post up at some point..

Bill, What a service you did for that guy. No one owns one of those and doesn't really care about it (LOVE it), and he just didn't know what to do. Oh, and that's a pretty amazing one-step!

That was one of the dream cars when I was a kid.
Thanks for sharing.

Looks awesome Bill! M105 finished down really well too! Was that using Todds version of the KBM method?

I'm not exactly what Todd's version is, but what I do is to leave the speed at 5-6 and start to lighten up on the pressure and make quicker passes. I will occasionally give the pad a light spritz of water if it's drying too fast....

I've been very pleased with M105 as a 1-step. Works very well on everything except the HARDEST clearcoats. They may still need some love from 205!!!:cornut:

No one every informed me we were not suppose to use red shop rags to polish cars. I have always thought that the metal shavings provided more bite :soldier:

i agree totally... was that single stage lacquer paint bil. if so is there anything you do differently as opposed to a two stage paint.

No, this car is a re-paint... basecoat/clearcoat probably 6-7 years old.
