Re: All Mike Phillips #7 Show Car Glaze Articles in one place
Outstanding Mike.
The information in these articles is priceless, working on single stage paint be it antique or not isn't for everyone but for me, I love the rawness of single stage & the delecate approach when working on antique single stage & breathing life back into it. Having the opportunity to work on antique single stage paint is a real privelage, not everyone will have that opportunity simply because we will run out of cars that are "antique single stage" & again, it's not for everyone, I know there are detailers that wouldn't cope working on an old car that isn't in A1 condition.
I know you will like this Mike - I have an original paint 59 (uhh, don't quote me on that now that I've said it) Caddy scheduled in the following months, it isn't too bad, it's oxidised but not extremely but the paint is thin, real thin. I'm looking forward to this one. This type of work doesn't come around that often & for some of us it won't come around at all.
Fantastic post Mike, these articles should've been included in your book for sure.

Me too. Working on antique single stage paint is working on REAL paint. Modern clearcoats are basically plastic.

I agree.
Every time someone like you or I or one of our forum members restore a car with antique single stage paint there's one less car for the other guys... it is truly becoming a very rare opportunity.

Slow and gentle...
The paint on Wayne Carini's 1953 Hudson was also very thin. I tool pictures where you could see the primer just starting to peak through. Rub too hard in these areas and you make the black patch grow and grow and there's no undoing the damage.

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

Good suggestion... I always kind of thought this topic would do well as it's own title but perhaps it could be included in an update of a current book.

Thanks for making it a "sticky", Mike.
I've referred a bunch of folks from other forums, such as MOL, to your M07 articles and this makes them quicker to access.
If you remember, I've been an avid fan since your first Auto Trader Classics article back in 2009, when it helped me earn the first of a bunch of trophies with my tired, old El Camino.
