Re: 1975 original paint CAN IT BE CLEAR COATED

Not a good idea....Clearcoat needs something fresh to bite into....You most likely have single stage paint....To find out, take a white rag with some wax or rubbing compound and just rub onto the paint....If the rag turns to your color then you have singlestage paint....Clearing it wont be a good idea....Neither would be using steel wool to prep it.....You would need the car totally redone to have it done correctly.....Clearing it would just flake off in a couple years.....Hope this helped.
