    I have to wonder though with that paint being so thin, how long will that shine last? Obviously, there's lots of variables to consider. What I mean is, how long will that shine last without eventually rubbing through the paint making the car a candidate for a repaint? Or, is it possible that with continued use of good ol' #7, when needed, that paint can be maintained? I'm leaning in the camp, and this is just a hunch from using #7 over the years, that M07 with it's flooding oils can keep this paint in pristine shape for years to come...in the right hands...or is a good high quality show car wax like the pinnacle sovereign capable of keeping the paint that nice?
    I would imagine the shine would last at least another 50 years if it is kept in the garage, and waxed with a non abrasive wax periodically to prevent it from drying out. It took 50 years for the paint to dry out enough to use #7 the first time.

    Mike, any more how-to info on the 53 Hornet? There is a 52 Hudson Commodore 8 that I would love to try this process on! All original paint on it as well.

    Work has been very busy last month with a lot of behind the scenes projects. The good news is sometime this week I'll have a complete write-up with the

    • Before pictures
    • Process pictures <--This will include all the steps to restore single stage paint
    • After pictures
    for the 1955 DeSoto Firedome.


    I also have a 1959 Cadillac coming up as well as possibly another very cool car with the original single stage paint.



    Hang tight...

    That would be great. I think I saw Wanye this past weekend at Greenwich Concours d'Elegance.

    A few more pictues I dug up and posted to an upcoming antique paint restoration in this thread.

    1956 Chevrolet Bel Air - Original Paint



    It's hard to see in this picture here but where the yellow outline box is there's a thin spot showing black primer.





    Here's the same spot from a picture I took with my iphone...





    Close up cropped out of the original...





    And this shot cropped out of the above shows the oxidation and cloudiness over the entire Hudson before restoring the original paint.

    ***Update***

    So far today, I have received 3 Private Messages on

    How to restore single stage paint. I love it.


    Most important...


    The power in the after shots is created in the before shots




    Why?


    Because you cannot go back in time and get the before shots. Then it's just your WORD when you tell people how bad the paint was.


    So take a few moments to stop whatever it is you're doing, read the above article for tips and then take some pictures.



    Trust me on this.... been there... done that....
