BC/CC help needed
I have a 92 point C3 - full 85 pt deduct for beautiful, correct International Blue BB/CC with "shiny" door jambs, etc. I need to "dull" the door jambs, etc, and would appreciate advice on how to best accomplish this. All surfaces look like the exterior - beautiful - but I need a tried and true method to dull the necessary areas. Thanks for any comments.

Re: BC/CC help needed
Steven, I'll tell you what I did to solve that problem on my 66 with BC/CC. I bought a pint of clear satin lacquer automotive paint . The dulling agent seems to settle out so that you can pour off as much dulling agent as you want to get the degree of dullness you want. I masked the areas to be sprayed such as the door jambs and other areas not originally reached by the buffer at the factory. Then I used an air brush to lightly spray those areas with the clear satin mix. The lacquer is fully removable with lacquer thinner without damaging the BC/CC if you don't like the results. Experiment first and I think you will like the results. You will have to dilute the lacquer with thinner to spray. Experiment first!!! -

There is a special spray can that you can add your color to available at home Depot. I used this compressed air can to spray my color on in the door jams of my 71. The spray goes on a little rough, which is perfect. You just don't rub it out...Comment

Re: BC/CC help needed
My '67 is painted #984 Sunfire Yellow with PPG Global, single stage catalyzed urethane. The single stage means the final paint coat is a 50/50 mix of urethane clear coat and yellow paint, which does not give off as much of a gloss as BC/CC/.
To dull the front and rear door jambs, underneath the convertible deck lid and the rain gutters in the hood area, I used ColorRite lacquer clear coat after masking off the appropriate areas. I shot it twice and it looks great, no buffing and anything else needed. If you don't like it, it will easily come off with paint thinner. It's $18 for a spray can and can only be sold through their Pa. plant as they can't make lacquer at their California plant. PT
