Petrucci_M3- Nice work, it's sure looing good!



Interesting that you were able to get that degree of correction with your Flex and the yellow foam/PG. I did a few more panels on mine ('97) last week and I had to use the Metabo/Meg's 7006/3M PI-III ECRC with a lot of speed and pressure, for *many* passes to get the worst of it out (zero luck with yellow wool or foam and my other compounds).

Nice. I worked on a couple of '98 M3's recently, and it required PFW/105 to get good correction in the stubborn areas.

Around 25 hours just on the paint alone. PG was gumming up like crazy and there were many stubborn areas like the hood, trunk, and roof.

great job!!!

Very nice detail!!!!

Thanks guys, yeah same here. I did my car back in January and it gave me the idea of what it looks like in the sun if you're curious.

Very sweet. Where in AZ are you? Tempe here.

Thanks man, I'm in Chandler.

Thank you! Some areas required a lot more attention than others as you can tell. I'm eager to use my 3403 on my own car, same color, same model just a 95 and see how well it looks, given that its still in great shape since I corrected it back in January.

I saw, you did great work man. BMW clear coats + black = nightmares That's why I own one haha.
