All the more reason to experiment some more. Think of the $$ to be
earned if you came up with a means of making all these ratty cars look
like new.

I tried that on both the '78 450SLC and the '90 300D 2.5T from Snook. Total
failure in both cases. The areas sprayed with the clear (after sanding and
feathering, etc.) still looked like bad spots, just different than before.
I think stripping and repainting is the only way to make one look good
again, or just leave it alone and live with it (lowers the theft risk?).

Most of the cars I’ve been looking at have clearcoat that has seen
better days from their long lives in the AZ sun. Most are in a transition
stage of having some clearcoat left and having lost some.
What can be done? Can the rest of the clearcoat be removed somehow and
then the actual paint be tended to? Is that even an option? I am paint
ignorant.

Could one polish up the paint where the clear coat has disappeared,
smooth the edges somewhat and spray with clear coat again? Would not be
perfect but might be better than before and preserve the paint somewhat
better than not having it coated. Look good from 50 feet away while the
car is moving?
