1964 Bentley - Swirl Removal and Concours Preparation
In order to prepare this 1964 Bentley S3 for display at this years 2004 Irvine Concours d'Elegance, we will be removing the swirls from the paint and restoring a deep, wet, show car shine.
This is one of approximately 175 Bentley S3's built for the year 1964. The car features right hand drive, Scarlet Connelly Hides, and a 6.2 liter V8 with twin Carburetors. The paint color is called Black Pearl and is a clear coat finish that is approximately 25 years old. As such, we will be proceeding with extreme caution as we carefully massage out the surface imperfection and restore a show car finish worthy of the Bentley marque.
While in the above pictures, it would appear as though this car is immaculate in every dimension, (and it is compared to 95% of the cars on the road), however, closer inspection of the finish reveals that the paint is in need of a little polishing work in order to remove the swirls and take it to the finish to its maximum potential.
Here's a shot of the finish on the driver’s side front fender under direct sunlight,
Here's a close-up of this same area,
