huge success

1000 grit sand, then polish. on the roof, the worst paint on the car

So what happens after you treat the whole car? Are you going to re-clear coat it?

Can you do the rest in a chequerboard fashion? Think of the games we could have!

yeah, the clear on thr roof said buhbye some time.ago. and the hood will.need repainting. but the sides are better. so possibly just reprayong hood and roof, or reclearing roof at least.

play it all by ear after a cut and polish

oboy, makes me want to do mine even more now. It’s not as bad, only somewhat faded/pinked on the top surfaces, the sides etc are fine still somehow.

Red has the most potential for before/after correction. Just keep in mind after all that paint work those faded trim bits are going to look nasty. Some of it you can 303 back to live, that paint on the window trim is gone though.

yeah, the window trims and the rain gutters on the roof are plastic over metal, the plastic has completely decayed and is flaking away. No way around it, those will need to be replaced.

same is true for pretty much all the exterior rubbers.

Oh man, you’re making me want to go after the roof of the RX7, which looks a lot like your “before” but in silver. Complete clear coat failure.

LOL just read your other posts - had a ‘93 CX (cheapest one they made - no options, no AC, no radio, no antenna) with the 70hp engine.

It was still a blast.
