Thanks for sharing Steve .

Hi Steve

Hmmm... a goal has to be to stabilise the old nitro finishes. Mine is pretty good because it was always away from any moisture (and I keep it that way) but there is always the odd rust spot coming through here or there (like the hot points of the bonnet) . Light surface rust poking though the the black underside paint will also progress if allowed to get wet too often I guess.

Is it possible to aviod paint touch ups and still preserve a car? Is it possible to get the old lead based paint mixed up to match?

cheers

Wow. Just finished reading this thread Steve. Great stuff.

Hi Paul, just keep it dry and the polish up. I believe Nitro is hard to touch up with Acrylic? I few brush touchups are on every car
