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?

You can't just put new paint, specially clear, over really old paint, and have it not peal eventually.
Probably just needs a good cut & polish. But if it's really worn you risk breaking thru the clear coat which means new paint job. An expert shop will measure the paint and work accordingly to give you the best possible results. |
