Restoring old paint
Hey Everybody - somebody on here a couple of years ago was talking about using CLR or something like that to take a truck with original or very old paint and clean it up. From what I recall, the sun faded spots still show around the edges, but it cleaned up and brought back a lot of the original paint.
I'm considering buying a truck with a nice patina to it, but would like to clean it up and bring back as much of the original paint as possible. Thanks, Pat aka 2ndgenrr
