Paint Correction on 1952 Chevy Truck
Process on this truck was a full wash/degrease and full clay bar. For the most part the truck was pretty clean except for some areas that had areas that needed special attention getting cleaned up.
The clay wasn’t too bad except for a few certain areas including front clip and hood and front fenders. These areas were also the areas that needed the most attention when it came to correcting the paint.
The front clip was very textured from contaminants and there was a spot/stain on the passenger stepside area that needed to be removed. These two areas were what the owner was most concerned with.
Some Before Pictures
Clay After Half of the Hood
Clay After small section of the front clip
Wheels/Tires cleaned with Meg APC
Once the truck was all washed/degreased and clay barred it was time to take a better look at the defects we would be working with. There was of course swirls, RIDS, and just an overall lack of gloss that usually accompanies these imperfections. Knowing that the truck was repainted several years ago with modern technology paints (Dodge Viper Red) I went ahead and did a test spot with M105, MUC, and the MF Cutting Disc. Once the process was dialed in I went to work. After the cutting discs paired with M105 and Meg Ultimate Compound, M205 was used on a white pad to clean up any haze. The truck was then finished up with Pinnacle Sig Series II. Machines used were Griots DA and Flex Rotary.
Test Spot on Hood (only after cutting disc)
Half Hood Corrected
Front Passenger Fender was the worst area
Corrected
Driver Side Fender 50/50
Using 3 inch wool pad and Flex Rotary to get in tight spot to remove staining
Stain removed but still some haze to be cleaned up
Cleaned up

Seems to have worked just fine, though.
