This is true except for the idiot proof part. I had a guy melt paint on a fascia one time because he beared down too much trying to get a scratch out while using the wrong product. By the time I caught him the paint had wrinkled and the fascia was still hot to the touch.

You can generate heat with anything when you do not know what you are doing. You never warped a panel just by DA'ing it? |

You hired a complete and total f-ng idiot, not an idiot. I hope you gave him a ride home so he didn't get lost.

Oh no doubt about that. He tried to remove a scratch with swirl mark remover. I have never seen a fascia get that hot from a buffer and I have never seen paint wrinkle like you put paint stripper on it. He just stayed in one spot until something happened. And it did.

I don't have much feedback on what to use etc as I have yet to do my own so should not speak until I have done so but I did find this video a while back that may help.
This guy too is a bit winded but it looks like what he does did the trick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFXfSBR5Q9w |

I would much rather do black. White is a b-itch to see issues. I was going to leave it alone as it seemed to have the correct amount of peel for a factory finish. Then, I looked at the original paint on the lowers and jambs. At least I don't have to do the bumper covers. Everything that is flexible has a bit of peel so the bumper covers match.

I am hoping to have this done in time for Norwalk. Assembly shouldn't take too long as most of the parts I have are NOS. But I still have to redo the wheels, get tires and I have some mechanical to do yet.

No buffing on this one for us. Owner says "It's a truck". Good enough for me.

Those old "box" body Fords had some rough paint from the factory anyway, because "its a truck".

Yes they did. So in that sense it's now over restored!

LOL, Years ago I did a '70 Dodge R/T convertible for a guy and he asked if I can duplicate the original rough orange peel. I told him I could stand back about 2 feet when I pull the trigger.

Back in '80 I did my Lemans Sprint with slate gray Imron....didn't need to do anything after spray, but didn't know if i should anyway. Looked nice and shiny.
