First Place for Worst Paint - 1942 Olds Extreme Makeover


Bar none, the paint on this car gets First Place for Worst Paint. I don't think I've ever worked on a car with worse paint.

If you think it looks bad in the pictures you should see it in person...





Here's my Test Spot

Process

Step 1: Compound 3 times using Meguiar's M100 with Lake Country 7.5" Wool Cutting Pad on Flex PE14 about 1200 RPMs

Step 2: Polish 1 time using Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish with Lake Country Yellow Foam Hybrid Light Polish using Flex 3401 on the 6.0 Speed Setting

Step 3: Machine wax using Blackfire Black Wax on the Griot's 3" Mini Polisher using a Rupes 4" White Foam Finishing Pad on about the 4.0 speed setting.























And yeah... when I was doing the compounding step I was pushing hard...

Just to document the "before"

More before.....























The word trashed comes to mind....

[Mike Phillips]

I don't think the word horrific is descriptive enough....

















Where's the Ugh.... emoticon?

And she doesn't look any better in the sunlight....

Well that's our project tonight.... hope all the guys come ready to work harder than they ever have....


Pizza gets here at 7:00pm and we need to be through the rotary compounding step before we eat....

I think the one you want is the vomit emoticon, that's just disgusting that they would let a classic car get like that.

Man that is horrific paint!

Looks like you have to chop pretty hard!

WOW that paint looks trashed. I bet the owner is going to be super happy with the transformation once completed.
