Here is a question for the fine point judges out there. Dose the AACA deduct points for base coat clear coat paint vs. single stage paint?

AACA does not deduct points for the type of paint. They do deduct for any imperfections3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

I know a 68C that got its AACA junior with a may things not close to correct. Hardware store bolts for top pivots, visible inner doors with rust, missing a top part... I did not want to risk offending the and sort of stopped looking. I later gave him a list of stuff to correct. Hibernia called me to ask how to fix them.

My AACA experiences have been very favorable, and the cars are well judged according to their guidelines.
Yes we all have stories3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

What happens if you use too much catalyst when preparing some urethane paint? How does the paint react? How does it spray? Flow out?09-19-2018, 01:45 PM -
When I was young I bought a new white p/u truck. An older gentleman told me to get a cement block & throw it as hard as I could in the bed of the truck. What does this have to do with a model A? Well I just installed my newly painted front fenders very carefully wearing new cotton gloves. When finished I tripped over the creeper that was stored vertically against the wall. Yep, it gouged that...04-07-2018, 08:44 AM -
As some may recall, I brought a '29 gas tank to Brent's party back in April. It is now being painted.
I say "being" since I simply don't trust my own abilities to lay down a decent finish coat of paint. So I took it to a local paint and body shop for them to spray for me. Yes, I know I need to develop my own skills, but since I am not restoring a car (don't have something to...09-08-2018, 08:13 AM -

I have contacted several suppliers about bumper clamp paint ( don't want decals ) and it appears that no one is carring it anymore . I tried to have a paint store match the chip in the Paint and Refinish Guide but the color turned out gray . Anyone have any ideas? Thanks , Norm05-16-2018, 05:42 PM -
I am wondering if using some valve grinding compound under the heads when tightening screws like open vehicle stanchion screws, molding screws for example would help or prevent the paint from chipping. A little compound could be applied under the head and then tighten the screw loosely and unscrewed it several times to "grind" some of the paint away. I had an unfortunate experience when...07-21-2018, 11:57 AM -
To improve the ease of matching color of paint to the mafca paint guide...I punch a hole in the chip. this remove the deferences caused by lighting and surrounding colors. the second pic shows nigara blue dark from the ditzler chips compared to the mafca nigara blue light. as always the color temperature of your computer makes it impossible to show 'correct' colors
