Why it's important to inspect cars with 2 types of light
Previously I've only seen this car outside. The below pictures document WHY it's so important to inspect paint using at least 2 different types of light.
Outside the paint looked pretty black but with swirls.
Under the florescent lights you can splotchy areas all over the car where the paint is literally white with age and oxidation. About 70% of the original paint is still intact on this car.
Oxidation
This single stage black paint has turned white in places all around the car. Mostly places where it has not been regularly polished. The whiteness is caused by oxidation of the paint.
Original engine and running gear
This car is all original including the engine. Looks like it's due for a little cleaning.
Finding and working on cars this old, this scares and in this condition is becoming a very rare opportunity.
