We check that it didn\u2019t have any accidents, because the shell needs to be aligned. Once the correspondence of all of the measurements has been checked, we may proceed with the different processes. This is the phase when we consider the rotation of the encumbrance of doors and boots. We calculate tolerances which enable the varnisher to do the shutlines, the flat panels and so on. During this phase you have no points of reference, because the car is disassembled. Potentially, while you\u2019re working, it may seem that everything is right but\u2026 it won\u2019t all go smoothly. Final corrections will be implemented by the varnisher, during the prepping and plastering phase.<br \/>\nThis intermediate step is very important, you work by reasoning in perspective for the process that will following. This is the only way which enables us to achieve the perfection that we guarantee at Cremonini Classic.[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div {\n  width: 36px;\n  height: 36px;\n  border-radius: 500px;\n}\n.dt-arrow-border-on.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover):before {\n  border-width: 0px;\n}\n.dt-arrow-hover-border-on.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:hover:after {\n  border-width: 0px;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev {\n  top: 50%;\n  transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px));\n  left: -43px;\n}\n@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev {\n    transform: translateY(-50%);\n    margin-top: 0px;\n  }\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev i {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next {\n  top: 50%;\n  transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px));\n  right: -43px;\n}\n@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next {\n    transform: translateY(-50%);\n    margin-top: 0px;\n  }\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next i {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav i {\n  font-size: 40px;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover) i,\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover) i:before {\n  color: #ffffff;\n  background: none;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:hover i,\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:hover i:before {\n  color: rgba(255,255,255,0.75);\n  background: none;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822 .owl-dots {\n  top: calc(100% + 20px);\n  left: 50%;\n  transform: translateX(calc(-50% + 0px));\n}\n@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822 .owl-dots {\n    transform: translateX(-50%);\n    margin-left: 0px;\n  }\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822 .owl-dot {\n  width: 10px;\n  height: 10px;\n  margin: 0 8px;\n}\n@media screen and (max-width: 778px) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.hide-arrows .owl-nav a {\n    display: none;\n  }\n}\n@media screen and (max-width: 778px) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.reposition-arrows .owl-nav .owl-prev {\n    top: 50%;\n    transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px));\n    left: 10px;\n  }\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.reposition-arrows .owl-nav .owl-next {\n    top: 50%;\n    transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px));\n    right: 10px;\n  }\n}\n@media screen and (max-width: 778px) and all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.reposition-arrows .owl-nav .owl-prev {\n    transform: translateY(-50%);\n    margin-top: 0px;\n  }\n}\n@media screen and (max-width: 778px) and all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.reposition-arrows .owl-nav .owl-next {\n    transform: translateY(-50%);\n    margin-top: 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style><div class=\"owl-carousel carousel-shortcode dt-owl-carousel-call carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822 bullets-small-dot-stroke reposition-arrows arrows-bg-off dt-arrow-border-on dt-arrow-hover-border-on disable-arrows-hover-bg arrows-hover-bg-off  \" data-scroll-mode=\"1\" data-col-num=\"1\" data-wide-col-num=\"4\" data-laptop-col=\"1\" data-h-tablet-columns-num=\"1\" data-v-tablet-columns-num=\"1\" data-phone-columns-num=\"1\" data-auto-height=\"true\" data-col-gap=\"30\" data-stage-padding=\"0\" data-speed=\"600\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-autoplay_speed=\"6000\" data-arrows=\"true\" data-bullet=\"false\" data-next-icon=\"icon-ar-017-r\" data-prev-icon=\"icon-ar-017-l\">[vc_single_image image=&#8221;14347&#8243;

Lamborghini used thin 10\/10 metal sheets, sometimes we use 12\/12 ones, for example in bonnets. This enables us to have a larger margin when we need to sand it down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Are the past\u2019s alloys the same as today?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The raw material used is the very same, yesterday just like today. Our purpose is preserving as much as we can of the original car. In my opinion, when possible, we need to restrict the replacement of parts to 40%, to fit within the originality parameters. We\u2019re talking about cars that are forty or fifty years old, so something will be unavoidably deteriorated. Being able to save or even restore what was born back then always depends on the degree of wear. If the aluminium or metal sheet are corroded and there are weaknesses, there is no point in being stubborn, it will need to be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Are we all able to bring a classic car back to what it was like originally? \u2013 Mauro asks us this question. We\u2019ll let him answer it \u2013 Restoring is a choral job, a single part of it being successful isn\u2019t enough, it\u2019s a whole that needs to be coordinated and this makes it even more difficult. No, in my opinion, we\u2019re not all capable of doing that.<br \/>\nThere are restorers who are specialised on one brand, even just on some models and if the first restoration could be an experience \u2013 the first is always the first \u2013 sooner or later you will become a \u201cmaster\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Are today\u2019s restoration standards different to ten years ago?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The evolution that has taken place over the last two or three years has changed the cards: everything is exasperated today. Cars which were restored ten years ago wouldn\u2019t be fit for purpose today, the research for utmost perfection is mainly due to the clients\u2019 requests.<br \/>\nThe different Concours d\u2019elegance are in open conflict with conservative restoration. In some cases, qualitative evaluations in those areas aren\u2019t always compatible with a hand-made car.<br \/>\nChecking the measurements: the distance between the bumper and the bonnet need to be equidistant with all spacers \u2013 we use the dime to check the inclination of the central moulding. A pre-assembly of all of the parts follows it\u2019s a test. This is the first complete assembly to check that everything is aligned. The first mounting of the chrome light surrounds needs to be done overall with the bare metal work, we perform a second check afterwards, after working out the perimeters of the headlamp and the blackwork (plastic fittings). It\u2019s a double-check, there could be some parts to be plastered to make the area smoother. It takes a lot more hours than those that you imagined, in order to achieve a result which is as close to perfection as possible, doesn\u2019t it?[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div {\n  width: 36px;\n  height: 36px;\n  border-radius: 500px;\n}\n.dt-arrow-border-on.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover):before {\n  border-width: 0px;\n}\n.dt-arrow-hover-border-on.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:hover:after {\n  border-width: 0px;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev {\n  top: 50%;\n  transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px));\n  left: -43px;\n}\n@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev {\n    transform: translateY(-50%);\n    margin-top: 0px;\n  }\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev i {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next {\n  top: 50%;\n  transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px));\n  right: -43px;\n}\n@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next {\n    transform: translateY(-50%);\n    margin-top: 0px;\n  }\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next i {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav i {\n  font-size: 40px;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover) i,\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover) i:before {\n  color: #ffffff;\n  background: none;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:hover i,\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:hover i:before {\n  color: rgba(255,255,255,0.75);\n  background: none;\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822 .owl-dots {\n  top: calc(100% + 20px);\n  left: 50%;\n  transform: translateX(calc(-50% + 0px));\n}\n@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822 .owl-dots {\n    transform: translateX(-50%);\n    margin-left: 0px;\n  }\n}\n.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822 .owl-dot {\n  width: 10px;\n  height: 10px;\n  margin: 0 8px;\n}\n@media screen and (max-width: 778px) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.hide-arrows .owl-nav a {\n    display: none;\n  }\n}\n@media screen and (max-width: 778px) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.reposition-arrows .owl-nav .owl-prev {\n    top: 50%;\n    transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px));\n    left: 10px;\n  }\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.reposition-arrows .owl-nav .owl-next {\n    top: 50%;\n    transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px));\n    right: 10px;\n  }\n}\n@media screen and (max-width: 778px) and all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.reposition-arrows .owl-nav .owl-prev {\n    transform: translateY(-50%);\n    margin-top: 0px;\n  }\n}\n@media screen and (max-width: 778px) and all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) {\n  .carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.reposition-arrows .owl-nav .owl-next {\n    transform: translateY(-50%);\n    margin-top: 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style><div class=\"owl-carousel carousel-shortcode dt-owl-carousel-call carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822 bullets-small-dot-stroke reposition-arrows arrows-bg-off dt-arrow-border-on dt-arrow-hover-border-on disable-arrows-hover-bg arrows-hover-bg-off  \" data-scroll-mode=\"1\" data-col-num=\"1\" data-wide-col-num=\"4\" data-laptop-col=\"1\" data-h-tablet-columns-num=\"1\" data-v-tablet-columns-num=\"1\" data-phone-columns-num=\"1\" data-auto-height=\"true\" data-col-gap=\"30\" data-stage-padding=\"0\" data-speed=\"600\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-autoplay_speed=\"6000\" data-arrows=\"true\" data-bullet=\"false\" data-next-icon=\"icon-ar-017-r\" data-prev-icon=\"icon-ar-017-l\">[vc_single_image image=&#8221;14390&#8243;

I wouldn\u2019t personally recommend it, firstly because the Miura\u2019s bonnet is aluminium externally, but the frame is in iron. Secondly, the acid needs to be rinsed with water and it isn\u2019t recommended, because experience says that if the car doesn\u2019t dry perfectly well, it will get humid in inconvenient places.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;WE ALL HAVE A STORY, TELL US YOURS!&#8221; style=&#8221;outline-custom&#8221; outline_custom_color=&#8221;#990000&#8243; outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;#fce523&#8243; outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;#000000&#8243; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost:10372%2Fen%2Ftell-your-story%2F||target:%20_blank|&#8221;][vc_column_text]- Once clean, the car is placed in the painting booth and you apply the protection. The first product to be applied is a layer of epoxy base coat, which preserves the metal sheets from corrosion. The total thickness is 70 microns when dry. Curing at 60\u00b0C for one hour is recommended. A personal piece of advice is that I would let the car rest for two days after the application. The reason is simple: the paint thinner evaporates slowly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; You specified the microns of thickness, why is that?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 70 microns\u2026 because if you exceed, you will compromise exsiccation. This base coat guarantees anchoring on aluminium, metal sheet, tin, soldering\u2026 whatever you wish!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I\u2019d like to stress that anchoring is guaranteed only if the metal sheet has been cleaned well. Another detail which shouldn\u2019t be underestimated is the temperature of application of the first coat of base coat, which needs to be close to 40 degrees. The metal sheet needs to be lukewarm, because the solvent contained in the epoxy coat lowers the temperature. Try to brush the solvent, if you touch it with your hand, you will notice that it\u2019s cold. There is a thermal decompensation and a condensation phenomenon occurs; if that humidity remains underneath, it would cause some dotting that will rise one or two months later, the so-called blossoming.[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">.carousel-shortcode.carousel-shortcode-id-ca4f86e9380d73e3bb4d3696106e4822.owl-carousel .owl-nav div {\n

My suggestion, for an excellent homogeneous result, is that the epoxy layer should never be \u201cpeeled\u201d. What do I mean? When sanding, you should never uncover the metal sheet from the epoxy coat, because otherwise the varnish would be absorbed unevenly.<br \/>\nAfterwards, you apply a polyester-based product with the sprayer.

They\u2019re observations and gestures which come spontaneously, from the confidence acquired through experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; You can\u2019t get to the end of the yellow colour with a large grain, so you start with rough sanding, then you decrease the grain to sand the final shapes. In order to be precise, you go from 80\/120 to 180\/240\/320\/400\/600 and so on.<\/p>\n<p>End of prepping. The car lines have been traced, the shutlines between the mobile parts have been cut.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Both flat surfaces and shutlines need to be done twice. It\u2019s obvious that to sand down surfaces, the closer you get to the end, the finer the grain needs to be. This is how we sand down the shutlines: first we stand down the flat surface, then we mark the control with black and, finally, we go over with the compass. It\u2019s an impeccable precision job, because they need to be even.<br \/>\nI\u2019d like to spend a few more words on rounding, due to the major relevance that it has on the desired result, particularly with the use of some colours. For example, if this wasn\u2019t done with the silver colour, that would represent a fatal mistake.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='dt-gallery-container gallery galleryid-14422 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1843\" height=\"1229\" src=\"https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Esempio-arrotondamento.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Esempio-arrotondamento.jpg 1843w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Esempio-arrotondamento-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Esempio-arrotondamento-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/internationalclassic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Esempio-arrotondamento-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1843px) 100vw, 1843px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; It\u2019s easy to understand that rounding has an impact on aesthetics, it enhances the luminosity of the colour and the perception of brightness. Without them the car seems flat, it has no movement.<br \/>\nThe corners are nice when they\u2019re thin and marked, if you were to exaggerate, you would see large and ungraceful corners. In the first case, you lighten it up and it becomes elegant, in the second, it weighs it down and it becomes uniform, anonymous. You need to find a balance, because the corner needs to have colour on it!<br \/>\nHow do you do that? Personally, I prefer rounding the edges with the spatula, because the with the sandpaper between your hands you risk exceeding. With the spatula the job is a lot more precise and it\u2019s longer, it guides you more towards uniformity. Only one person needs to work on it, so that you can ensure a homogeneous job, everybody has their own hand!<br \/>\nDuring this \u201cend of prepping\u201d you add weights, which are also named leads, which are used to simulate the car in driving order, as if it had all of its components fitted.<br \/>\nWhat is the measurement of the shut-lines, done through the compass? It depends on the cars, I\u2019ll give you a few examples: for the Lamborghini Miura, you measure 4.2mm with the compass, to have a 4mm end result.
