1969 Nova 900+ HP, Paint Restoration, Big Block+Supercharger

[coles_paint_correction]

Friend wanted to do some restoring on his older nova that was in preety bad shape due to sitting a long time and neglect.

Paint Process:
Griots boss g21 with /microfiber pads/boss correcting cream/ and orange pad with hd speed to finish.
Griots 6 converted to 3.5 for smaller areas.
Wheels were touched up by some mothers polish along with some cg tire shine.

I was able to achieve preety good correction for only having one day spent on this car, as he needed to get going.


Here are a few pictures including some before/after 50/50's and a few afters.

BEFORE:



50/50'S:





And a few final shots, i was pushed for time so sorry for the few photos.
More coming soon! :







Owner was very happy with the amount of correction i was able to achieve under the time limit.

Looks good. HD Speed is the only liquid you used?

Was it clearcoat or single stage?

Oops, forgot to mention i used griots boss correcting cream.
Also it was clear coated.

Did you see a significant change in the finish from the Correcting Cream and after HD Speed? If so, do you think having used microfiber pads to cut was a big factor in that? Or would you say the HD Speed just flat out produces its own high gloss?
And just curious if you had any Fast Correcting Cream on hand?

Oh well, I still owe you two and I do keep count. And I haven't washed my dd Rogue but once in the last 4 months LOL.

The PA Viking Coat did it's job for sure!

But the good news is the rainy season is officially over in Florida, it's like after the hurricane mohter nature turned the faucet off. So I'm deciding what Polish Angel product to use next. I'mleanig to Cosmic Coat. But it was 88 today and still freaking hot!

Plus wifey has me doing homeowners stuff, pressure washing, trimming trees, shrubs etc. OMG!!!

You owe me.... But 1st you have to catch me! Lol.
4 months? Dang man, that's a long time... I just re applied lsp on my car on Wed. knowing we were expecting light rain today [actually rained yesterday instead of today] and I was outside just now contemplating on wiping it down with some Last Touch in the dark. Lol. I decided to wait till tomorrow instead.
What's that white Nissan look like right now after 4 months?

Pretty clean, I did a quick wipe down a few weeks ago with BF Carnauba Spray Wax. In November before I take my annual road trip to NC for Thanksgiving I'll do the Cosmic Coat so will post pics after that.

I prob could of stopped at correcting cream but wanted a lil more gloss/filler protection.
Correcting cream does a great job on it's own with shine depending on pad choice but i did see a slight change in finish.
