Re: Detailing 76 yr old Lacquer paint
There is soooo much you can do with that paint! First thing you have to do is determine what you have to work with, and you'll need a paint gauge for that. If you use a machine on super thin single stage, then it could be disastrous! Sometimes it's better to do things by hand.
Here is a 1960 Olds that I did a while back. Paint was so incredibly thin! After speaking with the owner, we decided to just get it shiney again, and not worry about defect removal.
Here's another single stage car I did. Once again, paint was too thin to completely remove defects. Shiney paint with some defect removal was our goal here.
Before taking on projects like the one you're interested in doing, you should invest in a paint gauge. It is a "must have" tool for tackling these types of jobs.
