91 Skyline

[ScubaStevo]

Worked on a 1991 Skyline today. Was in pretty bad shape, but its probably my best turn around paint wise...



Process:



XP Compound via heavy cut pad nad rotary at 1000RPM

Power Cut Plus via cutting pad and rotary at 1500RPM

Megs DACP via rotary and polishing pad at 1200RPM

#80 via rotary and finishing pad at 2000RPM

No Topper



Interior and engine bay got my normal. Sadly, the paint on the engine bay was grossly discoloured beyound saving.



Pictures for you fine folks.

Comments and questions welcome.

whoa that is so cool what you did (its also a skyline). good work. how come no topper?

 

[ScubaStevo]

I ran out of time. Thanks for the compliment though.



Forgot to mention I got a 40 dollar tip. :getdown

[ScubaStevo]

I have no idea what type of wheels they were. ALl I know is they were a pain in the butt.

Nicely done, and a SWEET car.

You should inform your customer that someone put his sterring wheel on the wrong side though. :secret



God I am such a dork

I get to detail a skyline every day



Nice Car



One thing you might want to mention to him. It looks as though he's got an aftermarket BOV on the elbow and hasnt' bothered removing or even plugging the factory re-circ.

Looks good, nice job. Turn down the exposure on your camera next time for better picture results.

The car was pointin in the wrong direction, so the engine bay was dark. I didn't have the time to fiddle with car positioning.
