YAY! I worked on the first of three cars for a big shot investment corperation owner. This Lexus LS400 was bought new in 2000, and hasn't had any maintenence since. No wax as far as I could see, and there was no beading evident. Rims were peeling, and paint had deep scratches along the...

Well, at least this time the guy had the decency to rinse the mud off. Its a 2003 Sonoma ZR1, and in black, well gray if you didn' tknow what swirls did to the paint. Ugh, paint paint condition to say the least. Processes: SSR 3 with wool pad on rotary to remove some bad scratches on...

I've been so busy recently that my parents haven't seen very much of me, so I decided I'd give them a little present as they're heading out the cabin this weekend, and I'm booked solid, so I can't join them. Anyways, paint was in fairly bad shape due to automated washes and such. I haven't...

I did a full job on a Grand Am today, and it turned pretty well, so I thought I'd share. Little history on the car; its a 2001, grand am SE. Mods include body kit, NOS, heads, headers, intake, exhaust. Now, I'm not interested on how you think it is ricey or anything, this thread is to...

Do lexus LS' have single, or cc paint jobs?

Well today the big green Dodge 2500 that was stuck in the floodway showed up a couple minutes late. No biggie. He didn't rinse the truck. Little PO'd, but out well. Noticed how bad the interior really was. MAD! Oh well. Next thing I know, I was on the street for 2 hours, blasting the mud...

**Shudders** Man the car I did was a train wreck. I just about turned it down when I saw the rear bumper. Its a 1993 MX3, pretty fun little car. But the paint was just awful on it. Never mind the interior/engine bay. Oxidation was a killer on this thing, and my pads paid a price. Now...

I've recently had problems with hazing on single stage paint. It seems that single stage doesn't work too well with Poorboys polishes. Is there any truth in that, or has the paint I've been working on been crap? I've been banging me head against the wall trying to figure out why this happens...

Recently (today), with the detail on the Eagle Talon, new doors have opened to a total different level of clientel. The owner of the Talon is a Network Engineer for a local internet company, and his friend owns a HUGE investment firm. Just so happens the owner of the investment firm was giving...

Recieved a 92 Talon last night around 8-9 PM, and I set straight to work till around 12 (taking a short break to come and chat with fellow autopians). Got up again today at 7am and started to work on 'er again. Paint was in fairly decent condition, but the front end was repainted from a...

Wow, what a long day. This 1500 Quadrasteer Silverado was prett dirty, and my new wheel well fetish was broken today. :LOLOL Ugh, I hate undercoated wheel wells. It soaked up a whole can of dressing before it started to look nice. Anyways, paint had some swirling, and some eching, but...

Ugh, what a long and hard day. This week is going to be killer. This is the Dodge Ram I worked on today, and it was HUGE! Paint was in decent condition, with minor/moderate swirls. (I could see them without my lights). Wheel wells weren't looking to pretty either. I didn't take any...

Today I was hauled in to work on a couple cars at Sport Compact Nights. This is the SRT-4 I did, and it was in fairly bad shape. (Dealer installed wash package). Car was dyno'd at 400whp, and probably has shaved over 200 lbs from the body. Processes: SSR2.5 on carbon fiber SSR1...

Today I recieved a Dodge Daytona. In rough shape, and the pictures don't show it. Its original paint, I'm guessing around 10-12 years old, and my PC wasn't touchin it. SO I wiped out the rotary, and even used a wool pad on the roof. I'm tired, and just finished so I don't want to stay up...

Well this is my first 2 day job. I spent close to 12 hours on this car, and I must say, I now hate it. The customer dropped it off at 5 PM yesterday, I worked on it till 11 pm when I went to sleep. Work up at 6 am today and went at it again. Finished around 12-1 o'clock, but was doing small...

LOOK DOWN A FEW POSTS FOR THE EXTERIOR Thats right, a 300ZX twin turbo. I'm not totally sure on the mods, but its definatly not stock. Paint was in pretty bad shape, with swirls and scratches all over the car. The shippers from Japan really didn't take much care for the car. The...

Well as you probably know, I do a lot of "rice" cars, which are at lots of shows around the city. Here are some pictures of the cars from recent details. First of all, my bud's buick. The supercharged LT1 camaro: Jetta: S10:

I was up late tonight watching "hitch" on a loaned Plasma tv, sittin in my pool on a floating chair, drinking a beer. HOW COOL IS THAT! biggrin.gif Well anyways, I decided to take some pictures before I turned it in. I believe the both used 15 second exposure. A litttle flashlight...
