Our 1985 buick sat out side in the sun and winter snow sleet and freezing ran for 6 years before we bought it. No one bother to add any wax nor wash it during that time so the paint is dead.
It has cracks and pits in it, Some one along the way had keyd it and the touch up paint blew off in the first rince when washed.
We have been searching for a painter since May, thought we had found one in June but he was busy then so told us he would call in August or Sept when he had cleared the back log up. When the calander said it was Oct. 15th We decided he had not really wanted the job so the serch started all over again.
We know what we want, We want a show car we can be proud of and it is close just a nice paint job with a deep deep view thru clear coat about a mile to the color.
After going to every person who we had recommended to us we yesterday settled on who is going to do the Job. It is not going to be cheap in fact a bit more than the appraised cost of the car when finished.
A quick look at the car the day before we picked it up, it had just rained before we got there so it appears nothing is wrong with the paint really.
This trunk picture shows the dullness the best.
All chrome gets removed, includeing the mirrors and door handles. All the old paint comes off, the under side of the hood and trunk get painted as well as the door edges and the openings. The body side moulding are removed and replaces with new ones, door rubber seals as well as the trunk rubber seal.
The grill front the chrome is taped off and the black high lites are redone.
Also the side LaSabre emblem is getting painted and shined up and the Buick lettering on the trunk.
It comes with a life time warrenty againest blistering cracking and peeling.
