Re: Original paint revived.....
Definitely worth it...it's amazing what can be restored. Hope to see it in person sometime!

Re: Original paint revived.....
And once you get the whole rig revived, you can maintain it much easier than what you are going thru now, which I am sure you will...

Re: Original paint revived.....
Why not finish the machine/foam pad polish with their hand glaze? We used to do that on the shelby cobras that I painted. It worked REALLY well!

Re: Original paint revived.....
That is amazing and it looks great, love the fact that it was called Carmel Bronze and not tan or khaki.

Re: Original paint revived.....
It's hard to believe that's the same paint...you just increased the value of your Bronco considerably! Looks amazing!!

Re: Original paint revived.....
Nice work Airbur - your Bronco looks great. I am interested how you got your rims so shiny?

That is an incredible transformation! I too can't believe how drastic the difference is!
