Black Monday

Black cars have always been my favorite since the days of Dupont’s 99 lacquer and the shine it would bring to any old car when applied in multiple coats. I use to spray it in my garage without a mask and soon discovered why painters are always on the “high” side when talking to them. Paint improvements in the color black over the years still lack the shine of that old lacquer. I have seen some really great black paint experts like Bobby Alloway. He seems to have the knowledge to flow on an expert finish in black. His GNRS winner this year was a good example. Black cars will continue to be popular as witnessed at this year’s GNRS. Black was the predominant color on the contenders. I am sure many of you share the love of black cars and they beauty they display when standing tall. Love live the color Black.

I just returned home form the Mid-Winter Rod Run and while the weather was not the greatest the event was well planned and turned out to be a lot of fun for those of us who braved the weather. We visited some neat places and saw some great collections of cars. I was able to purchase some new wiper blades to help with the rain so my day was complete. I would like to thank the members of the Early Times for planning another great event. I look forward to next years event which will be the 45th.

Have a great week.

Stay Tooned!

I spent the afternoon cleaning and shining Pepe for the Early Times run. The sun finally came out and so did the black paint after using Surf City Black Magic detailer. I also increased the tire pressure to improve the ride a little.

Black is a popular color on forties and everyone has their secret for keeping them shining. I don’t have any secret except keep after it and don’t use a duster if you want to keep the scratches out of the paint. I use detailer too much but I have used a clay bar to clean up the paint prior to putting on a good polish like 3M’s hand glaze. Nice coupe from FB.

Another classic 34 with super black paint. They take lots of car, but to me, they look the best in black.
