Bringing an Alpine White E30 back from the dead!

So picked up a new E30 earlier this week.





The good: No rust



The bad: Paint about as flat and unglossy as a chalkboard







The solution: Menzerna SIP







Before: Notice you can't see any reflections and can barely see the camera's flash!

After: Note the flash of the camera, and the tree's and stuff in the background! Wish it wasn't so overcast or you could see the difference a lot better.. Really looks like a new car now!

50/50 shot: Notice the side with the blue tape has been done, left side has not, and no thats not hazed wax/polish, thats how poorly the paint was neglected

Trunk reflection: Best shot I could get to show reflectiveness due to the overcast and gray sky...

Now back out to get a coat of wax on it before it starts raining!
 
Yeah, single stage paint FTW, and no, not a track car :( I hope to one day do the E30 Spec class, but for now I just drive them on the road.



Full pics soon, when I get done waxing!
