1967 dodge 200

[mbkite]

My sister got a dodge 200 truck camper edition but no camper its Mutual of Omaha oarnge but with out the mutual.
i used 2 bottles of #7 over a few days and the oxidation was coming off and now I am on to the polishing stage the paint is thin and an awful paint job I think its original because it's so thin.
Now nothing is getting any better unless I hit it with rotory and wool I have been using d300 and meguiars wool solo.
looks like enamel paint single stage but after that oxidation came off the paint is rock hard.
I thought the paint would be soft all the way down to the metal
any one experience this ... Thanks..

I haven't done a lot of single stage paint, but the ones I did definitely weren't soft. I got rid of the oxidation and did most of the correction with wool on a rotary and finished a DA. You're saying it's thin, are you taking into consideration there are only two layers instead of three?

Yes I usto think my scion was thin at 3.5 and this truck has 1.9 at its thinnest but when I got going the faded oarnge started to turn more red. I pulled off the emblem and found brighter color so now I am polishing to match that color

Yep, 1.9 is a little thin. What is it on the thick end? What kind of compound are you using?

2.3 is about thr thickest and found that on the pass side in spots and using d 300
Thanks.
