My 86 Vette turned 100,000 miles this morning on the way to work. It is a daily driver, needs carpet and interior work, but runs strong...love to drive it.
The paint is real faded and the clear coat is gone on top...to repaint it they want $8-10,000!!! Then, it will "look like new". I don't mind it looking "used", and don't have 8-10 grand to spend on a car for paint.
So, I opted to have MAACO to it for $1100...however, I want to prep (sand) it myself, because I know they won't to the best job. The body is solid and not cracked, scratched, stressed, etc.
I am not sure what grade of sandpaper to use...150 grit wet with plenty of water? help....thanks:cheers:
