    1957 Chevy - Extreme Makeover - Single Stage Paint

    1957 Chevy - Extreme Makeover - Single Stage Paint



    Live Broadcast starts at 6:00pm




    Here's a video I just took...




    Single Stage Paint
    Tim has a incredibly nice 1957 Chevy, in these pictures it actually looks pretty good but don't be fooled...







    Here's what the paint really looks like everywhere throughout the body panesl...







    Thin Paint
    Tim's 1957 Chevy has a single stage paint job and when I measured the paint thickness using the DeFelsko Paint Thickness Gage, (a very accurate 3% gage), it measured between 2.5 mils and 3.5 mils.


    That's right, the paint is very thin. While we can't do a lot to it... we can do a little... and Tim's been helping us out with our Thursday Night project cars and learning the art of polishing paint. Not only can he create a work of art but he knows how to keep it looking that way...
