1962 Corvette revisited for correction and coating

[gofast908z]

I had done this car a few times, but after a few corrections I recommended we coat the car this time. I knew it would continue to get swirled up as its wiped down constantly as it goes to most Corvette and classic car shows in the Bay Area. The owner is also extremely active in welcoming troops home from deployment and gives them rides in the car, equipped with flags and all (the posts attached to the back serve is purpose). The owner liked the idea of not diminishing any more of the clear (was restored in the 80's with base/clear) than necessary.



Getting started... the usual swirls from constant wipedowns at carshows.

All finished! The posts on the back are for 2 large American flags when the car participates in parades welcoming troops home.

Thanks for looking!

Awesome work on that beautiful classic. I love the early Corvettes. You brought this one right back to 1962. :)

Iconic car, engine speaks volume :xyxthumbs: on some pictures paint looks oxidized but I think this is the maximum that you did considering this is 80's 1K paint, probably PPG Crossfire red?
Chrome very nice, overall results 10 out of 10.

What did you coat it with?

There wasn't oxidation. Depending on which pictures you're referring to, it could have been the camera, QD residue, or the slightly overcast day we had. Thanks!

First and foremost its very cool what he does with this car🇺🇸

Now you did a great job on the paint correction too, no doubt about it, I'm sure the owner is very happy with the results! That said, for such an original looking car I'm surprised the owner freestyled the interior and engine like that but to each his own.
