Palo Alto Swap Meet in May - I'll be there to offer up tips

[Guest Anonymous]

on restoring and maintaining your paint - AKA A Dadburned Tech Session. My intent is to demonstrate how to use off-the-shelf (OTS) products to restore your paint. Of course this assumes you have some paint to work with. Can't do much when large chunks-O-paint have taken a vacation. I won't be using any machines, just elbow grease. I'm assuming most of you won't be interested in spending a butt-load of $$ on machines, pads, commercial compounds, supplies etc. Rather, you'll be looking for the scoop on making your 02's look good with a minimal $$ outlay.

The car featured below belongs to Glenn C. in Houston. I worked on his paint about 2 years ago and it came out pretty well. He had some heavy swirling and oxidation on a verona repaint. It looked good from about 20 feet, sorta like Dave Trux. But unlike Dave, I was able to help it look good from about a foot. Took about 6 hours with machines and such and was about 10% the cost of a new paint job.

Looking forward to seeing you guys in Palo Alto! Oh before I forget, I have a volunteer car already. Some guy with a cabrio who is organizing this little soiree. ;-)

Bring your questions and I'll do my best to help you out.

Oh yeah, in my book, OTS means Open Two Seater. As in, Jaguar E-type OTS, but there's no trademark as far as I know. 8-)

Are we organizing a San Lorenzo Valley/Santa Cruz drive up to Palo Alto? Matt B.? Chris B.? Rick?

By the way, Dave, my sister told me Paul and Kat were moving...any truth to that rumor??

An organized drive is always fun. Just keep us in mind if you will. I'll email you offline about Paul & Kat.

See you soon!
