Hood after sanding with micro mesh 4000 to remove over spray. I clayed first, then followed with the MM 4k. This makes very short work of any overspray:

50/50 hood after Megs D300/surbuf, still requires a final polishing:

Nice job. This was the one that Joe was telling me about. Looks like a good bit of work with a great turn around.

Great detail... Chrome does not look good on that.



May want to consider a second coat of tire dressing... maybe its just the pics, but it looks blotchy

Thanks! Yes tires got another coat after pics where taken.
 
gmblack3- Ah, so that's how it finally turned out :D Very nice :xyxthumbs



So you were able to go straight to the M205/tangerine after the SurBufs, huh?

Thank you Accumulator! No issue at all going to tang/m205. It actually finished out very well, but went with black after to ensure a high level of gloss.

Thanks Charlie!
 
I prefer the 4000 grit. For years we used to sand every car we did for dealers/retail with this stuff. Call Micro-Surface, ask for Debbie Abraham and ask for some samples. Tell he I referred you and you're golden.

Thanks; I'll give them a call tomorrow and see about giving it a shot. This seems like an interesting technique for sure.
 
A black SUV.............my idea of a goodtime :high5: just did a estimate for the exact car Bryan and the owner did NOT like the number discussed(Just cannot understand why that was??).



The owner of the shop I managed had one of these and it was the 20 minute color.......looked good for 20 minutes, what a turn around Bryan!, and who said you could deviate from using D300 with a Surbuf pad??(lol).
 
Hey there beautiful work!



I am doing the exact same rover today with even worse paint !

May I ask what you quoted the customer for this work ?

I love this paint, very polishable in my experience. No gummy, grabby stuff, just medium paint to polish - hella flaky with metallic too. Nice work Bryan.
 
Thanks everyone!

Figure you are going to have anywhere from 25-30 hours into something this size. Add another 5 hours for the roof for full correction.
