1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series 1
Rosso Corsa
4.0 liter V-12, weber carbs, 5 speed manual
57,643 miles
1 of 1,099 produced between 1964-67
One of my good clients has been searching for one of these for some time. He finally found a nice 2 owner example and picked it up.
The paint was as you would expect being 52 years old. It has the usual nicks, chips, swirls, cracks, crazing, scratches, marring, haze and dead paint that a vehicle of this age has from being used as intended.
I spent some time taking paint readings. They weren’t terrible. Between 4-8mils. Some places thinner, some a little thicker.
I spoke to my client and he was more interested in preserving what paint is there rather than going for a museum quality piece/heavy correction. He drives it and wants to keep as much of the original in original.
He said that he believes that every scratch, ding, etc tells a story: Perhaps a picnic on the hood (gasp!) in Tuscany, or lovers kissing up against the door after a night out and before their final goodbyes. I liked his thought process on this, and it was OK with me, I like that, we now have a plan of action!
Let’s remove some defects and get some fresh paint to the surface!
Process/chemicals/tools/etc:
McKee’s37 Waterless wash.

DoDo born slippery was the clay lube.

Adam’s In&Out spray on lower rocker panels.
AutoFinesse Glass cleaner.
