Hi All, I'm looking at a early 80's P car with badly scuffed / scratched clear coat. The car was kept in a barn with a tarp on it for years, hence the scuffing. What, if any options are available to try and bring the clear back vs a re-spray?

There are quite a few excellent shops recognized for high-end paint work. Search for one and go talk to them and look at their shop and see what kind of work they have on the floor. Then let them suggest their approach to the problem. That is how I would approach it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
