ive only gotten about 1/3rd of the car done, but thought id toss up some pictures. before - after - (the car was hit in the rear end years ago, and the old repair work is starting crack. one of those projects ive set aside till i can do a full restoration) Before - After - i had...

im just putting on the 3rd, and i think final coating of 7. 3 coats on the left, 2 on the right, split down the center. only 2 coats and 2 coats on the lower section of the car.

i just wanted to throw a couple pics up of the first pass with the #7. the paint on the hood is absolutely trashed, but whats left of the paint looks much better the paint on the left hasnt been wiped off yet, but you can see the yellow is noticeably darker already.

ya, i was looking for a way to close this one after i posted the other one. and ya, the paint is cracking in some areas. i realize that i cant fix that without a respray. im just trying to get the most out of what i have left.

ive got a 69 vette with single stage lacquer. to put it bluntly, the paint is shot and it needs a repaint, but i dont have the time or the money for it right now, so id like to get as much out of it as i can. where would you advise that i start? machine buffing is out of the question, the paint...
