Keeping the original paint while stopping rust

[av8tr33337]

This is a picture of one my cousin did.

They did the body work then a pho-tina finish on everything but the hood.


Here is a description of the process they did, but to simplify I would just scuff it all with scotchbrite or clean with CLR and scotchbrite, and clear it with a satin finish.


It was clear coated using a universal matting agent PG SU 4985.
mixed to simulate egg shell shine. But you can go flatter if you mix more
in. Mixed 8 oz of clear 1 oz hardener and 4 oz of matting agent. The hood was not painted just knocked the loose rust off and sprayed with the
clear coat mix.
