Re: dull paint There are many sites on the internet that address this problem.
Hopefully, this is not one of them. |

Re: dull paint I use a random orbital buffer and Meguiars polishing compounds to remove discolorations and swirls. Very satisfied with results. Clay bar won't work for what you are asking.

Re: dull paint Interesting juxtapostion going on. GB Sisson recently posted a thread titled "Whose gonna fill Their shoes". So an '85 Crown Victoria is now 35 years old. In 1970 a '35 Ford would have been 35 years old. I recognize the focus of this forum, yet it seems to me an open mind would consider both the past and the future. 50fordcoupeman and Tubman in #5 offered positive responses. It would be very interesting to me to hear how experienced body and paint guys resurrect dull, flakey and oxidized paint whether it's a '35 or an '85. I know little to nothing abount paint chemistry.

Re: dull paint Well Tom this is a site about ol'timely cars. So I say cover it in motor old. It'll shine fine but be sticky for a couple weeks. Repeat as needed.
thousands of videos on youtube... to be fair. type in dull paint 85 crown vic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHdCnN8o4_Q To be fair, people come here to know how to make a 35 taillight to work or whatever. There is plenty of sites dealing with 80s paint. Now if you were asking if I have lacquer original paint or urethane. I could say get a rag with mineral spirits and see if it wipes away in an area you can't see. but I don't think I need to fill my shoes with 85 crown vics at this point. Although I wouldn't mind having one! Dan Aykroyd would say look for a state dept marquis/marauder. |

Re: dull paint Nope you talked about including new people and cars. If that means compromising what we do here. well I disagree. Paint is very different. I guess if someone was asking about their car that is pre-war I'd be onboard. I don't really give 2 poops about a 85 crown vic here. Plenty of places for that.
As mentioned there is plenty of information about paint. Think that was covered. This is one the last few places I can still come and just talk old fords as old fords. Guess I should have left this thread to die on the vine. My bad. . |
Re: dull paint I've always been a big fan of Turtle products. Years ago they had one called "Pre wax cleaner" that did a great job of removing oxidized paint on any of my old and not so old paint vehicles. Lately I've resorted to Turtle rubbing compound for severe oxidixing or damage. Used it on the 52 Merc and after many hours of work I'm happy with the results.

Re: dull paint Tinker. Calm down and have a sip or three of some Stravinsky. Pre-war.

Thanks!!! I don't drink hard liquor. Guess I'll start. |
Re: dull paint Its a question about buffing paint. If the OP had not mentioned what car it was on he would have had about 30 suggestions and no negative comments. again, its about buffing paint period.
