Car touchup
As some know I have a 1969 Cadillac Fleetwood that I am slowly restoring.
It was repainted in '89 by the fellow who used to paint Elvis' cars, a real great deep black gloss paint job using enamel. Problem is, its 20 years later and it has many scratches going through to primer. I can't get it repainted. And worst of all, I can't for the life of me get a paint that matches. Every black I have tried is lighter after sanding and buffing and polishing than the body enamel that was put on 20 years ago. In fact, the touched up areas after I sand look more dark grey. Is there something I am missing here? The weird thing is if I dont sand the touchup, it looks good...sanding it is what lightens the color here. The car does not have clearcoat. Any help?
