Hi everyone,

I'm new to the site. I have a 57 chevy 4dr hdtp with original factory paint. It is of course faded. I've attached a few pics. What is the best approach to repainting? If someone could provide step by step instruction with type of product to use, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks 57 chevy 4dr right rear panel.jpg

if the budget allowed this is a car to media blast with acrylic . from the pics it looks virgin. to paint on virgin steel that has never been bastardized it absolutely priceless. you will get the help here i promise. some really good restorers here.

Nice car, BTW.
 
WOW, why can't I ever work on a car that nice?
I have only seen one other original 57 4 door that nice before and Terry Baker has one in barn that his grandmother owned with around 20,000 miles on it (yellow).
 
how far to you want to go ? trim off ? glass out ? bumpers off. decide then make a plan.
