1964 1/2 Mustang - Holograms in new paint - Really?
Don Eddy is a local car guy and owner of a beautiful 1964 1/2 Mustang that has been in his family since it was purchased new. This last Saturday, Don attended our Cars & Coffee where I had a chance to take a fresh look at his Mustang.
Don was on the second season of our TV show, "What's in Autogeek's Garage" where we shared his Musting and Don's story along with my guest Sam Memmolo.
Since then, Don had the hood repainted by a local body shop and "yes" they did what most if not all body shops do, they buffed the new paint using ONLY a rotary buffer and probably a wool pad and left holograms in the paint.
The original single stage paint is suffering a little too from oxidation... so when we remove the holograms we'll also do some very light polishing to restore the clarity to the single stage paint so it more closely matches the new basecoat/clearcoat paint.
Wiper Scratch
There's also a scratch in the windshield on the driver's side. We'll take care of this for Don too while his car is here.
IF you've ever read my article,
It's not that hard...
That's the article I wrote to show with pictures to all the big strong guys out there that are afraid to buff their car by machine that it's not only not that hard but with the help of Autogeek it's also very safe...
IF you've read the above article, then you've met Don Eddy as he's one of the guys I show in the article and he's buffing out a 1967 Carmaro...

Don's been a good friend to everyone here at Autogeek and it will be a privilege to get his Mustang back up to Autogeek standards.
