Original paint revived.....

[66and70Broncos]

Definitely worth it...it's amazing what can be restored. Hope to see it in person sometime!

And once you get the whole rig revived, you can maintain it much easier than what you are going thru now, which I am sure you will...

Exactly. Now that it's nice to look at, my neighbors won't ever let me go back to the way it was:)

Why not finish the machine/foam pad polish with their hand glaze? We used to do that on the shelby cobras that I painted. It worked REALLY well!

I'm sure that would make it even brighter:) Truth is by the time I'm done with each panel, I have no desire to put anything else on it. I use Meguire's or 3M compound first with the polisher, then 3-4 coats of pre-wax cleaner to get all the layers of dirt off, then another 2-3 coats of compound, then another coat of pre-wax cleaner, then 1-2 applications of Meguire's #7 (basically an oily polish that doesn't dry), then finally a coat of NuFinish.

I learned after doing the hood and the fenders that it's not so much oxidation, but more layers upon layers of dirt that's baked on for 40+ years. After I get that dirt off, the paint actually looks pretty good before I take the compound to it.

That is amazing and it looks great, love the fact that it was called Carmel Bronze and not tan or khaki.

It's hard to believe that's the same paint...you just increased the value of your Bronco considerably! Looks amazing!!

[airbur]

I still don't believe it.

[ZOSO]

WOW that turned out amazing.

[Entourage]

Nice work Airbur - your Bronco looks great. I am interested how you got your rims so shiny?

[Gregg]

Amazing Airbur. When's the tech class?

[airbur]

I hink Zill would be the one to present that class. He gave me a bunch of pointers.

[Gregg]

Ziiiiiiiiiiillllllllla...... , I'll bring the food, donor truck, $$$ for supplies AND my pretty face.

[totalchaos]

Wow good job that looks awesome sounds like it was well worth the work

[Jesus_man]

That is an incredible transformation! I too can't believe how drastic the difference is!
