heres a 5050 before

after

this is from about 10-15 foot away. for that same 5050

here are the finals. not perfect but was the best i could get out of the paint for the amt paid.

any tips please respond. also if you look at the rims you will see brownish specs all over the rims. not sure how to get them off. tried a clay bar and everything but couldnt get the spots out. rust maybe?

Sorry about the job. Autogeek is looking for personnel and I see you are in Florida. Wow, that car was a mess, good job bringing it back to respectability. Invest in a clay mitt or towel or get the Nanoskin disc. They last a lot longer than clay and if you drop them you just wash it off. Ironx or some type of iron remover might remove the rust from those rims. They used to make it in paste form so it would stay in place, but it was discontinued. Good luck with your job hunt.
