One Year Later

Well it's been one year since I painted my old 'scort and the wee beastie keeps on purring,

I posted this pic at the time:




I just wanted to comment on how well the Tremclad paint has held up after sitting outside for the last year without protection.

There is some dulling of the paint. However I never did get around to properly finishing the job and I think I only put four or five coats of paint on it. I didn't polish or wax the car and I am quite certain that this paint requires additional protection to hold up for any duration.

I intend to finish the car and sand out some drips and runs I have. These were the result of a thick mixture applied during a heat wave and the paint dried too quickly.

I also intend to put a Tremclad clear on the car rather than trying to polish out the paint. I believe this will give a satisfactory gloss without polishing and provide better protection.
