Default Fixing the paint on an '82 camaro

This was posted to our forums by a customer... my first car was an '87 so that generation of Camaro will always be near and dear to my heart. Just thought I'd share some pretty impressive results on some almost 30 year old paint.

So i worked on a section of about 12x18 just behind the t-bars (which i love on these cars)

For some reason you can't really see the improvement from each step after the s&h it didn't translate very well. I took all the pictures with no flash because the flash always glares and hides the swirls. So just try and focus on the clarity of the light in the ceiling should make it a bit easier.

Nothing special, just wanted to share with you guys.

Washed the area, clayed and wiped down with 50/50 isopropyl


Two passes with the S&H, if you look carefully you can see the faintest of spider webs under the light.


Two passes of FMP and one pass of Revive.


One pass of MSW


Then Final product after one pass of BG and one pass of Americana (when i do the whole car, i will wait the 24 for the MSW)




Thanks for viewing guys and girls. Just another man in his grandmothers garage productions.............haha i just had to junkman!! with a grandma twist.

My first car was a '91 which I'm sure had no chance of looking that good. That's impressive for such old paint

Looks damn good for that year. I thought about trying to find something in the real low '90's to try and fix up.
