We recently finished repainting a 27k all original Carnival Red '65. While it
had been repainted twice, the jams, boot and under the bonnet were original.
The interior is original and after extensive cleaning and conditioning appears
as new. Same for the original top. The car was from Georgetown, Canada and had
been garaged and stored in a climate controlled garage. We were successful in
computer matching the color from several areas and were able to touch up areas
missing in the aforementioned areas perfectly as well as do a superior
exterior. Just remember there are many areas, such as the ones mentioned that
were not buffed out like the exterior and should appear as mildly flat and not
high gloss as do all the exterior bits that should be high gloss. We used a
single stage paint and experimented with varying degrees of flattener to match
the nonbuffed areas. It can be done!
