Wood Trim
 
Anybody got an input on "CLOUDY" wood in these cars? I THINK that they are done like the Rolls, hardwood with a Veneer then LOTS of clear lacquer on that.
If I am correct then 2000 paper and water SHOULD cut the clouds away then respray.
This 50th is turning into a show restoration instead of a stump puller :D

I think you are correct on the veneer highly laq'd.

Spike555 05-25-2012 07:43 PM

Yup, lots and lots of clear coat.
I dont know if it can be polished out or not.
Keep us posted on what works best.

On order, wife got it for me for daddy's day.
Going to check with Constantines Wood Center - Woodworking Supplies and Tools - 1-800-443-9667
This is who my dad used back in the 1960's for anything wood. They will have the special stuff to do the job the correct way I HOPE!
Me I would just grad the 2000, water and have at it.

Would you believe WHITE TOOTHPASTE not the GEL. Soft cloth and polish then RE-WAX the finish. Have a spare piece from the parts Rover will give it a go Saturday and see what happens.
PS Fans get here so MJ Should be on the road by Sunday.
