- 1972 Sunflower Yellow Coupe (Bone Stock)
Hi Guys,
I have a 1972 Stingray that was painted bright yellow in the early to mid 1980s (originally it was Ontario Orange). It looks good from a distance but when you get right on top of it, the hood, and the tops of the front fenders are a little more dull than the rest of the car. I am about 90% sure that this paint job was not a base/clear coat paint job. I have tried some pretty top-end waxes but they do very little to improve things. Is there anything I can do, such as wet sanding it with an extremely fine sandpaper that can give it some more life for a few years? I am going to paint it but need to save up for a few years before that happens.
Thanks,
Rod
