Great Questions. Please tell us oh Paint Guru! I've wondered that myself (question 2), should you try to find the exact same paint they used on the car in 1979 or use the more modern paints.Thanks Al... here goes!
1. How easy/difficult is it to change colour on a 308/328?
For example you mentioned in a different post that the 250 series engine bays, under arch areas etc are all in in satin black with removable cover plates. Does this also apply to the 308/328? (principally interested in the 328)
2. Would you advise using current paint technology when repainting an older car? for example using a UV/scratch resistant clear coat.
3. When you take a car to bare metal is it possible to eliminate any current rust issues that may arise and future proof against potential corrosion?
4 See PM!
thanks again!

Hi Andrew - see above!!Al,
Great looking job. Did you only do the exterior?
Industrial coatings - On the ship, because of the sheer size of the project and the harsh environment and rough service, we care about ease of application and toughness. Our standard system is 2 coats of epoxy to protect the steel and then 1 coat of polyurethane to provide the gloss, UV, chemical and abrasion resistance. We use Ameron coatings from PPG. The website is http://ppgamercoatus.ppgpmc.com/Pete - I'd be interested in knowing more about industrial coatings - are the primers' sandable and can they be overcoated with a water base & Iso clear?
The main problem if they are not workable is getting the preparation to level that can be coated - filler (bondo) is easily workable with up to 400 grade paper (drycut) but beyond that really cannot be finished further.
