Extreme Makeover - 1970 Corvette Roadster

Actually, it more of a, Not-So-Extreme Makeover, because this Corvette has a fairly new paint job and the owner has been taking very good care of it.

While in the above pictures the finish appears to be flawless, in real life, fine swirls are present. Before starting the makeover, we will capture the true appearance of the finish and post the pictures here.

The owner is going to enter this Corvette in a car show in approximately 2-weeks. So our goal will be to take his car's finish to it's Maximum potential! using the Meguiar's paint polishing system.

The makeover will start at approximately 10:00 am on Thursday, August 5th at Meguiar's in Irvine. This is an open invitation to anyone in the area that would like to come down and watch and possibly lend a helping hand in the transformation.

If you would like to attend, please sign-up by replying to this thread.

I'm gonna take the day off of work and come down mike. I'll also bring the suburban down. If we have time to get to it we do, if we don't we don't. I'd like to help you with this and also see the man work his magic on black

Originally I thought this was to start at 5:00p.m. I can't make it at 10:00. But I can make it a little later. So, count me in; I should be there early afternoon, maybe 1:00-ish.
