Wow! Thats quite the transformation, nice work. Are you retoring it or going with something different?

I'm so happy to read a "barn find" thread that invovles more than changing the battery and washing it.

The last few I've read on various sites last about four posts since it only takes a weekend to restore it to show room quality.

Nice progress so far!

peace

rb550four · « **Reply #23 on:** May 13, 2012, 05:01:28 PM »

Is that an ultra-chrome paint job? I remember it first coming out in Matchbox cars late 70's early 80's , have only seen one guy advertise the ability to do this on the east coast somewhere in the middle states at a cycle junkyard . That is slick! There is no repairing a damaged paint job like that is there? Meaning if it gets scratched ,you got to start from scratch right? Just beautiful.

steven400/4 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 13, 2012, 10:31:31 PM »

my mate did this paint job he is the onner of 8 ball custom paint he said he would do a one off paint job but he wont say what the colour is just that he can do it again if it get scrached
