Re: 69 Camaro brought back to life...
Wow, nice work!
My very first fun car was a 69 camaro SS350 in that color. You just brought back some great memories.Leave a comment:

Re: 69 Camaro brought back to life...
I started with 1000 grit, 1500, and finished with 2000 grit.
2 passes with Solo and the Solo marron wool pad, rotary.
1 pass #80 and a foam pad, rotary.
1 coat of #66, pc.
1 coat of #26, pc.
Now, the paint is not perfect by any means. But it is 200% better than it was before I put my hands on it. The owner was absolutely blown away.
The end result.....

69 Camaro brought back to life...
I picked up a new client a couple of weeks ago. He has several classics and exotics. This was my 3rd car to do for him. 69 Camaro which was not taken care of properly. I'm not exactly sure what happened to the paint, but as you can see from the pictures, it was very bad off.
Now normally, I would have passed on this, but the owner gave me full power to do whatever I wanted to do, and not hold me accountable if I made it worse. He was planning on sending it to the painter here in a couple of weeks anyway, but thought he would give me a crack at it first. Plus he offered me a very generous payment to make it shine.
Here are the before's
Here are couple of good close ups...
