I am a half-year 914 guy, the car spends a lot of time in winter storage here in Northern Michigan. I bought my 1974 1.8 in 2007, helped along by the generous advice of 914world members.
Now the Parade is only 40 miles from my house, I am thinking of entering the concours. Immediate questions involve the completely unoriginal radio, wheels that have been repainted, and front and rear sways that I had installed when Brad Mayeur did the original work on it. Otherwise it is a very clean car. I am wondering if I am ineligible for a "survivor" judging because of these mods? My original thread with pics: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=69564&hl= Thanks for your help. Paul |

I don't think its a spectrometer, its a digital paint film thickness gauge.
That 'ad' above is the backside of the 914 car colors brochure. You might look into 'glaze' products in the car care section, I understand this product is used to fill in minor scratches, then wax over that. Meguiars website has some helpful paint care processes/products - I bet the other major mfrs' do too. |

A spectrometer, or spectrophotometer, will diagnose spectral items, such as color, intensity and, in some cases degrees of spectral colorants (yeah, I know, it's heady). They CAN be used to match, or closely match, paint. But that's it. For a basic view of what a spectrophotometer analyses look at the artwork for Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". I worked with these things for 15 years YEARS ago, to determine if FDA food colors matched specs. That's pretty much all they did. I'd be interested in hearing about new finish produsts too. Have been a Meguiars fan for many years (Zymol was too much work), but there must be better products these days. |
