Thanks for the advice. I'll be painting it myself; I have already painted a 1951 Ford F1 pickup.
I got paint samples in Motobase that I haven't had the chance to try yet. Hopefully one of them is a good match for color and flake.
I'll be using SPI clear. 3 coats, cut flat with 600/800, 3 more coats, cut and buff.
I'll post my sample sprayouts when I get to them.
Thanks again.
I got an answer from someone over on the Studebakers Drivers Club forum; he's well known for his restorations.
He recommends 3 gallons ready to spray for a complete repaint (jambs, hood, trunk, inner fenders, etc).
I've got a 64 Avanti that I want to take back to the original Avanti Turquoise. The car has been repainted twice; the first appears to be a dealer repaint to Maroon where the interior was also changed from Turquoise to Black, the second was a repaint of the Maroon. I am stripping it all back to bare glass and starting over. I bought a can of the touch up paint from Studebaker International and sprayed and clearcoated a sample panel, which has been sent out to Chad's Paint Supply for matching.
I'm going with BC/CC and need a decent estimate as to how much ready to spray BC I will need.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
