My cuda's paint was not bad but getting dull and after having to repaint the drivers side rear quarter last year after a fuel mishap decided to wet sand & buff rest off car. Took me 4 weekends but what a difference. after my friend checked paint thickness went 1200/1500 to 2000 grit then sequence of mirror glaze products one panel at a time. Very pleased & these pics. are in my dark garage. Can't believe the reflection & surface scratches removed. Thank you Meguiars.

Helps when you got laser straight body panels, looks sharp!
 
To my knowledge car was repainted in original white(ww1) once in 1983 so paint is 28 years old & luckily thick.
 
Looks great Oldschool. I did a lot of touch up on my Demon, its amazing what a person can do with a Preval sprayer, some good paint, sandpaper and polish.
 
Thanks Demon. Always comfortable with anything mechanical but not to confident with body/paint work. Pricing a paint job last year forced me to go do it yourself route & luckily i found a mentor that owns a body shop and he let me soak up his expertise.
