I agree completely. Im not going for show car here. I prefer the survivor look. Unfortunately it was too far gone to not fix. So, I am going for original appearance. (Including the hub caps O:)) If I could have a '75 that looked like it did around 1980 after 5 years of normal use, that would be ideal. Not interested in running a buffer every weekend.. Might go with base / clear on the paint, just because it is metallic, and I have read that today's single just doesn't do well for metallic. Although I did use 2 coats single in the bay and it's not bad. So, would probably need 3 coats, but I will have more coats than that with B/ C anyway. This is a DIY driveway job all the way.
