Mine would be a 1967 Imperial Crown Coupe, exterior color KK-1 Mist Turquoise Poly, interior silver leather, loaded mobile director.
I would be happy with that. :lol:
I personally would keep it in the orginal gold metallic. I think your orginal paint is probably dull and lost it's luster. I couldn't be happier with the fresh, now 10 years old, saddle bronze paint on Goldie.
I agree around where I live, I mostly drive on 2 lane rural roads so the driver's side is always worse when there is no curb and the salt is dropped more central to the road too.
I agree with this 100% you would be amazed at the difference. My first vehicle I sprayed was a work van. I had a bad orange peel and never touched it and was pretty happy. The next car I painted with similar results but cut and buffed it out huge difference and was very satisfied.
Since then...
I'd say he is trying to recoup 100% of the restoration plus.
If he put $85000 or $100,000 in that Imperial he is currently dead, because his wife totaled up all his receipts. Now she is trying to sell it.:lol:
If you have mentioned this before sorry, but is there someone who is going to inherited and love this car? It is clear to me it will out live pretty much everyone on this site. Unbelievable restoration execution!
The saddest thing, most of us here will never get the chance to see this car in person, but so glad you are posting all the progress pictures. First Class!
