Rupes and Antique Single Stage Oxidized Paint


Had a gentleman e-mail asking me about using the Rupes paint polishing system on antique single stage paint.

I prefer to answer questions on our forum because it's so much easier to include,

So what can the Rupes do for antique single stage paint?




1978 Trans Am - Original Single Stage Lacquer Paint
This is the version that Burt Reynolds made famous in the movie Smokey and the Bandit. It was not in the movie but is the correct engine, transmission, T-tops, colors, wheels, etc that are the same as the car Burt drove in the movie.







Lets throw a little light on the paint...














































Those of you who attended Detail Fest or regularly attend our Saturday Cars & Coffee have seen this car in person since I restored the paint and I think you'll agree it looks like it has a brand new paint job.


Rupes tools, pads and chemicals are top notch quality and a very capable system approach for detailing cars.
