Start with some elbow grease. See my Project Nugget thread for a before/after pic with just claybar and hand rubbed polish.

In this case the rear deck lid is a different color entirely however, but that section you tested looked great. @DRPHIL914 - AZ sun will do that. Thanks for the paint info, very helpful. |

I didn’t mention that when I bought my car it had been moved east to NC by a marine officer that had been stationed in 29stumps(29 Palms Ca for you civilians) and it had some type of Maco cheep respray on all the outside, but not in the trunks so we had a good idea of original unfaded color. But it did a job of protecting the outside for a time- it was probably badly faded from that sun as well, the interior seat vinyl was so dry it almost turned to powder when you touched it! That desert sun is harsh! Unfortunately my car started its life in Ohio so this is where the longs rust came from. Anyway if it’s a true copper metallic car , restore it the best you can they are rare. Jim’s May be the only original not repainted one I know of. There was one in Florida a couple years ago but it got snatched up and shipped back to Germany I believe. Enjoy the restoration, keep us posted on what you end up doing. Phil |
