This looks awesome. I’m in the same boat as you. I think it gives it character. It looks awesome. I wonder if that would work in reverse with black as the top coat and red underneath.
Hi Andy, your car looks awesome...tap your knowledge Mate, I've got a 56 Oval which I've had 25yrs.. original owner had a accident where front apron was hit...when it was repaired it had black paint sprayed under bonnet, I want to remove it down to original without damaging original paint.... spent a fair bit of time with that silver cleaner Silvo..couldn't find any brasso at the moment...think Silvo is more chemical than a cutting compound ..will look and try with brasso as I think maybe more of a cutting compound....any suggestions ?... I know a lot of elbow grease but if there's a easier way I'm up for it.....work smart not hard 😜
If it was my car I would use 800/1000 wet and dry sandpaper and remove the layers, being a metalic silver it should have a clearcoat , you can reapply clear over the top once the base coat is exposed
Looks good mate. I have a Mercury Montego in the USA that’s been badly painted. Think I might give this a shot. Did you put any clear coat on when you were happy with it?? Thanks
I think it looks great; exactly that level of subtlety 👏👏
Thankyou for taking the time comment appreciate it
I love this! Hand scalloped would next level this paint job ❤
I'm thinking how good that would look now with a coat of clear 😍
Looks great. That's the look I'm going for.
Right on!
Good job ❤ regards from Poland 🇵🇱

Thanks Darrell appreciate the comment
Great look. Why did you use 2 different reds? Does that create more of the blotchy look. Thanks for the great onfo.
depending on manufacture , they would have a coloured base coat
Perfect patina mate, well done. So it was a matt black base, cherry red then dust coat of indian red?
Thanks mate, yes and good luck 👍🤞

Looks good mate. I have a Mercury Montego in the USA that’s been badly painted. Think I might give this a shot. Did you put any clear coat on when you were happy with it?? Thanks
I was happy with it as is , occasionally i add a little penatrol to protect it over winter
How did you get that finish? Did u do the linseed oil trick?? Looks good, Cheers.
No linseed oil , enamel paint sealed with Penetrol
I may have missed it, but what did you use to get the dull paint effect?
wet and dry sand paper removes the gloss
@@shedtorquenthings633 Thanks
what paint did you use in the sprayer?
enamel paint
Hey bro, so I’ve studied you technique and I’ll send you what I came up with. It’s also done in satin clear so it doesn’t look like sH$&@!
