I’m still considering all the options. I would have to remove the old paint first with chemicals, then buff it clean with a spinning wire brush, then...
Well, still have that guy’s number, so we’ll see.
No need for all that. A good cleaning to get all the dirt and old wax off, tape everything off, apply a good primer then a couple coats of good enamel.
Just do a light sanding, then apply a primer. light sanding, then two coats of whatever color you want. then one or two clear coat sprays.
Hehe, I actually saw a guy paint his mid 60’s Continental(this was about 1970 or so) with water based exterior semi gloss latex with one of those airless spray guns that runs on 110 volt. Believe it or not the thing came out darn good.
