Old Single Stage Jeep paint


cbenjes

Question

I have a 1991 red Jeep Wrangler YJ with very faded paint.    I used an orange pad with some swirl and haze remover and actually got the paint down to bare metal on one of the corners of the hood.  I guess over time the paint is very thin.  Any suggestions for restoring paint this old short of a paint job?  I'm afraid if I used anything even slightly abrasive, I'll take what's left of the paint off.  TIA!

I have a Porter Cable.  I was surprised to see metal, but blame the thinness of the old paint.  Now I'm really paranoid that using the orange pad and anything abrasive, I'm going to end up with a paint-less Jeep.

With paint that old you will still get transfer even by hand.  However, by hand is going to be your safest method, as I don't think it can hit 6,000 OPM.  If it can, YOU ROCK!

 

That said, getting SHR or PCP to work by hand isn't going to give you the desired result as a machine would, so temper your expectations with hand product.
