One of the essential steps for every restoration project concerns the paint, as very often, old cars like those that we discover thanks to barn finds come with rust and mold that need to be completely removed.
Luckily, the ’63 Corvette Stingray here wasn’t necessarily in the worst condition, but its exterior still needed a few improvements here and there.

And Nick Does Everything, who owns the YouTube channel with the same name, has decided to publish a closer look at what the full paint correction on the Stingray involved, thus showing the world how the car became what he described as “a complete show stopper.”

The first of a huge 6 car project I recently finished! This 1963 Corvette Stingray is a serious head turner! With a convertible vinyl top and the timeless Corvette red on white color scheme, this car can really take your breath away. The car was in decent condition when I started this project, but the paint had been neglected for quite some time. Watch me breathe new life into this old paint job and turn this driver into a complete show stopper!” the explains in the YouTube video description.

While we’re not trying to provide any spoilers, the Chevy is indeed transformed almost completely after this paint restoration and ends up looking almost as good as a new car.

This once again shows just how important it is for an old car to be taken care of properly, no matter if we’re talking about the interior or the exterior.

And of course, videos like this one are also helpful for those who want to do the same thing at home for their own cars, and Nick Does Everything says he’ll also publish a list of all the chemicals that were used to bring this Corvette Stingray back in tip-top shape.
