First Place for Worst Paint - 1942 Olds Extreme Makeover

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.

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

nooooo

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.
