512 BBi old enamel paint.

Spent a good part of the day rubbing out 96 louvers by hand. All the paint had faded from engine heat, plus water stains, sap. Still working on the black and have to put spoiler back on. The rest of the car didn't take this long to polish.

I love working on single stage paint, the turn around can be stunning

I agree Beemerboy. It's about 50% of my work. Messy (colored dust everywhere) but you there is a wow factor in the end. Will be doing an early Alpha Gulia next.
