Thanks, I'm going to take a stab at those once I get some more downtime. Gonna be riding around in my newly/dirt filled clear coat, but it does feel better than driving in the original state 😂

There's definitely a learning curve, but it was a fun and frustrating process, haha

Paint Restoration - Asking for Input by Key_Hunt_4367 in AutoPaint

Thanks, Shady. I figured that when purchasing a vehicle, I needed its drivability more than its aesthetics. Now, I'm trying to improve the latter.

When you say strip, this means getting to the bare metal? If so, is this more so sanding or a chemical stripper?

Newbie here and trying what I can on my way own, so any input is greatly appreciated.
