1960 Corvette paint

[CrawlinTBSS]

My dad has owned his 60' vette for many years and never washes it since its stays inside. just alot of dust wiping of with his california duster...

 

theres alot of scratches, and swirls on this car. Hes almost done restoring the car to matching numbers. We just finished the motor over winter and that has all matching production numbers, as hes trying to get a bloomington gold certified restore.

 

I wanted to spiff up the paint a bit for him. All the chrome i know i can hit with the MP but im questioning the paint. Is this cars paint safe for PC? Its a 1 stage paint ontop of fiberglass... ( from what my dad said, Roman Red Corvette color code). Thanks yal!

 

few pics... lol

:pc:Your safe with the PC, if its not bad I would start with FMP & White pad (soon to be pink pad)! Make sure you post up pics when you guys are done with the car! And good luck!

Be very careful with it. You should be fine with FMP but if that isn't doing the trick, I would just leave it alone.

I am going to have to agree. As long as you take your time and are patient you shouldn't have any trouble at all. That is an absolute beauty!

very nice Roman red corvette, a friend had a '57 and I believe that it was that color.

You'll be fine. Just remember that because it is a single stage paint with no clear coat, you'll get some color transfer onto your pads. Don't panic.

 

Good luck and post up some before and afters!

With no clear the red paint will make the white pad pinkish to red!

Oh I thought you were saying Adams was changing their white pad to a pink pad.
