I would highly suggest just giving it a good wash and clay, then post some more photos. With old paint, it's possible to do more damage than good if you're not sure what you're working with.

ok ill try to get some better pics in the next day or so

it has enamel paint not laquer and i would use a non-abrasive polish after claying like the PwS you just got ...use a polishing pad or even a finishing pad, no cutting pads as you don't know how much paint is actually left ...

I`ll be helping him on this.What about Poorboys PP? And can we finsh off with a wax?

[Poorboy]

sure PP will work too ... and sure why not finish up with wax

Thanks.

I did some research and the paint is PPG color Medium Lime Poly, and its an Acrylic Lacquer. The darker green in that year was Acrylic enamel.

[Poorboy]

same methods and product apply ... didn't remember Ford using any lacquer on Mustangs

They had 3 different kinds of paint in 1970 for ford. We appreciate the help, atleast it gives us a starting point.
