It’s going to sound bad but you need to let the pros have a look at a body shop as most of the ways will mean re sanding, prime ring and repainting the car to factory colour with out the strips, I’m sorry to say, but that’s how I’d go but it, and get the car bad to its better looking state.
I’d love to own, drive or paint a ( American car) I’ve never had the chance ha ha
Hey, do you know how many coats of paint he put on plus how he prep it, I can think of couple of things to do or try but if they don’t work then the paint work had to be taken to a body shop to be fixed, so I don’t want to put you in that spot and make you splash the cash lol. It big hard for me to explain and tell you as I’m English and spelling is rubbish from be dialectic,
If you can get hold of jimmo, Ben , ding and jemeryb are all great guys with years behind themI most say through its a beautiful car 🙂 why did you want strips put on.
Hey matey, if you can get pictures up that will be a great help. Do you have any understanding on the paint side.
As I’d like to explain some tips you can try. Do you understand on how to wet flat and polish,
Also do you know if the paint is water base or solvent.
Is the paint air dried in a garage or baked in an oven:spraywelc: hey mate welcome to the site
