One Cold weekend's T.O. Detail
One Tight Space, and one cold early morning 7am start
I never worked in such a cramped space before but that morning at 7am, I had to as the outside temperature was hovering just over 34 to 36 with rain spitting down.
With this lack of space, I switched from my rotary to using my pc as there was simply not enough room to use my rotary with the appropiate caution and technique.
These are after shots, simply showing the cramped working space..
Customer parks this car outside all year.
Paint had huge oxidation and lots of swirls.
Customer simply wanted to a "smoother" finish, as rubbing your hand on the finish felt like sandpaper.
I mentioned the heavy swirls would not be "removed" due to time and space, but I could greatly reduce them.
He was more than happy to hear that.
Someone decided to play April Fools trick and change my time on my camera so its all "PM." I learned afterwards.. oh well onto the good stuff.
