Hey guys :up



Upward of 700+ pics to upload and these ones should be shared first. This customer brought on the challenge of a wetsand project, the entire vehicle. The vehicle was repainted and had serious orange peel levels. The owner wanted to reduce the amount of orange peel, so I had my work cut out for me. I had the vehicle a week. I had other vehicles to attend to during this time, but all in all I spent a little over 65+ hours on this one. It is a strictly a show-car, meaning all trim that has not been replaced with be replaced, everything on this '86 Mustang has been "restored" to new condition. Before and during photos are being taken off my memory card now. Hope you guys enjoy this, it was a tough job!

Either ways, that car looks amazing and that is some quality work. Seriously, that car looks amazing and its exciting to see cars done right. Congrats on your work, it is definetly top notch!!!
 
Thanks all.



Todd- I have to upload the rest of my photos from my memory cards. I have before and during shots that really show exactly how much it took to get the vehicle looking like this.

Wow Martin, that is seriously stunning. Not often do we get to see work of that much depth, that ends up with that quality of finish. That is really impressive. Nice job man. Can't wait for the before and during shots, I am sure that will enlighten us all on the true quality of that finish.
 
I own this 86 GT, and this is the second mustang I own that Martin has detailed. I am speechless at his work. My car is show quality now! He kept it for a week, fully garaged and safe. When you can trust someone with your investments and have these results, you have found an individual that is an asset to his industry. I am on my third project mustang right now, and I guarantee you will see it here next summer, after the Martin D perfection!!



Thanks a million once again Martin.

Amazing looking paint!



I'm a bit surprised that you started with 1500 grit sand-paper as that seems to be on the fine side to remove orange peel. Looking forward to the "before" pics.
