    What has happend with the paint?

    Hi!

    I am working on a old car, wich i think have original paint. Because the readings i have got is rely thin!




    I have read the threads regarding restoring old metallic paint, and i have done some test spots. But the hood and trunk have some strange patterns in the paint, could it be the oxidation that has gone to far?



    Here is test spot on the side


    And the pad
    .

    But what can have happend to the flat panels, hood and trunk?

    the flat surfaces might have had things stacked on top (think stored in a barn) and were stained do to that. Just an idea.

    But then the stains should be ON the paint not IN the paint?

    It gets better after the correction but it does not go away completley :-/

    I thihk it had plastic sheeting on it which is known to cause those kind of weird paint stains from trapping moisture under it.

    Setec beat me to it. no doubt that is plastic sticking on it for a long period of time causing those marks. a plastic cover of some sort. 99.9% sure.

    I have no experience with this product so please someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that I have heard that Meguiar's #7 could help with this issue. It contains nourishing oils that can help restore old single stage paint.

    being single stage paint, I would think you could cut through this with some compound. just be very careful not to go too far.

    I did a little research and confirmed my recollection that Meguiar's #7 is recommended for oxidized original single stage paint. Below is link to a thread in which Mike Phillips discusses single stage paint. That thread also includes a link to an article written by Mike Phillips on that issue. Good luck.

    I am thinking about the idea that the car have been sitting with some kind of cover on it. It could be since the shades have " sharp " edges. I will try get better pictures tomorrow.
