    1971 Dodge Coronet Original Paint Extreme Makeover with Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze

    1971 Dodge Coronet Original Paint Extreme Makeover with Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze


    At my September 2012 Detailing Boot Camp Class, one of my students asked me about my article on how to restore antique and original single stage paint. He has a number of old Dodge's and actually drove one to my class.

    I explained to him the technique for rubbing-out oxidized, old brittle single stage paint using a product that's been around for single stage paints since the Model T and he followed my directions and below are the results.

    Here's what Craig wrote to me in an e-mail...

    I have others, but these show the dramatic before and after, this is my first single stage paint correction, I learned a lot, so glad that I was able to attend your class in Sept this car was a lot of work, and all work took place at Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio.

    Thanks Mike!

    If you ever have the chance to restore the original single stage paint on a "Barn Find" or any other classic or SIV, which stands for Special Interest Vehicle, please read my article before you start for a few tips and techniques that will help you to preserve and revitalize the old, dried-out and brittle paint.

    In most cases, you only get one shot and restoring, antique single stage paint and if it's important to you to preserve the originality of the car, the #7 treatment is your best shot at success...

    I sent Craig and e-mail letting him know his before and after pictures have been posted so when he gets a chance I'm sure he will chime in and let you know the color.

    I checked an online source - stock colors:

    Citron Yella
    Medium Green Metallic
    Moss Green Metallic
    Green Gp - probably not it

    Before Craig started this project he called me at work to discuss, one of the things I discussed with him was the IMPORTANCE of getting GREAT BEFORE SHOTS.

    You have to get the "before" shots BEFORE you start to work on oxidized, single stage paint or you'll,

    A: Never get the chance again (because you can't go back in time)

    B: If you start to polish the paint before you take the first before pictures it kind of ruins the effect.

    Craig did a great job of getting the before pictures. :dblthumb2


    Before



    After



    If you're ever in a position to do an extreme makeover on a classic car with single stage paint, be sure to read through my article on capturing the "before" pictures in this article...

    The power in the after shots is created in the before shots


    Can't tell you how many times I've heard or read of someone saying something like,


    Sorry, but I didn't get any before pictures...


    Once you start working on oxidized single stage paint, you'll lose your change to get pristine, "before" pictures. So slow down and take a moment to get good before pictures.

    The power in the after shots are created in the before shots...
