1942 Oldsmobile Club Coupe Sedan - Cross Your Fingers for a Miracle Extreme Makeover!
In the first edition of my how-to book The Art of Detailing and in the second edition of my how-to book, The Complete Guide to a Show Car Shine on page 37 to 39, there's a chapter called,
Paint Condition Categories
In which there are 12 different categories of paint conditions listed and defined. The paint on this 1942 falls into categories #5, #6 and #12, that would be,
Yet I think with a little patience, perspiration and hard work there's a chance we can save this paint or at least bring it back to category #3 which is "Good Condition". This car is scheduled to be showcased in an upcoming edition of HMN or Hemmings Motor News, so it's definitely worth giving it the old Autogeek try....
Below you'll find the "Before" pictures where I've thoroughly documented the current condition of the paint in but full bright overhead sun light as well as florescent lights.
When? Thursday, October 2nd, 2014
Time? We start at 5:00pm
