Hi Mike,
Whats the story on the green Hellcat?
Reason for asking is that I might be doing a green Hellcat just like the one in your posts above. Biggest concern I have is the matt hood and rear spoiler. How or what to I do to clean those up? Plus I will have a ton questions in coming days---hopefully!
The car is in really good shape. Owner is very meticulous with his cars. Not too shabby on the baggie test but if I were to coat---I'll clay and polish it out. It's close to being a 2 step but if he wants perfection, I'll just do a 3 step.
Biggest concern right now is how do I approach the matt paint on the hood and rear spoiler.
Thanks,
Tom
Hi Tom,
The owner of the green Hellcat takes care of the paint using all Wolfgang compounds, polishes and the Deep Gloss Paint Sealant and his car always looks amazing. (he's a local guy).
For the matte surfaces he uses the McKee's Matte Finish product, can't think of the name.
At the time we worked on the two cars in this write-up for these cars the Dr. Beasley's Matte Paint Coating, nor the matte coating from GYEON were not around, like in not invented yet.
I just looked at the time stamp for the first post in this thread it's

That's over a year ago.
I have not personally used the GYEON matte coating yet but did test it out at SEMA in a video here with Jeff from GYEON
I have used the Dr. Beasley's matte paint coating and I'm very impressed with the results. See here,

NOTE: I'm working on getting the exact type of matte paint used on the 1971 Duster in this thread because I MACHINE polished it to clean it up before applying the coatings.
I explained why in the above thread - because just like the normal paint and the glass and chrome on this car was covered in some type of road film stain, so was the matte paint. And you can't coat dirty paint even when it's matte.
Make sense?
