Bringing back to life a'51 black phantom

What was repainted on it because it looked like the original paint was extremely solid!

I think it was just cleaned--not repainted. V/r Shawn

I think I commented without thinking.....You mean painted parts not repainted parts. haha
That is really nice strong original paint too!

Yes, just cleaned! Nothing repainted!

Painted parts look beautiful - what was the method used to and the equipment, solvents used to clean the painted parts?
I have '52 Phantom that requires same resto and I like the results you are showing.
Thanks for the information.

Soap and water and good degreaser then painstakingly used different compounds polish then four coats of wax! Just received fenders and wheels are polished up and ready, gonna start assembling it again soon!

Did some more work on it and just waiting for the seat from Bob and the front wheel to finish being polished.....

Will be putting the front wheel and forebrake on it tomorrow and a temporary seat to take it for a spin!

Plans foiled, my one day off and it's raining....go figure, damn so cal! With all the hours of polishing, there's no way I'm getting this sucker wet especially being right next to the ocean! The rain is all salt!!
