Re: 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air - Original Paint
This survivor will be here at Autogeek this Thursday for the same paint restoration technique on its original single stage paint that I used on Wayne Carini's 1953 Hudson.

Re: 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air - Original Paint
So excited!
My two favorite types of detailing projects are,
1. Restoring the original paint on classic cars.
Absolutely love doing this type of restoration work and helping owners avoid having to repaint. Especially like helping them avoid the Caveman detailer that think the only way to do this type of work is with an aggressive compound which will often times destroy antique, dry, brittle single stage paint.
2. Wetsanding, cutting and buffing a custom paint job on a cool car.
In the car detailing world, this is the pinnacle. If you can do this the right way and without leaving tracers, pigtails or holograms behind you have truly mastered the art and craft of polishing paint.
Cool thing is I get to do both today. First restore the paint on the 1956 Chevy and later, wetsand/drysand cut and buff the Model A.
Just finished detailing the interior of the 1986 Porsche this morning plus polishing the aluminum wheels. That's three cool detail projects today.
Going to sleep very good tonight.
