Project Black Widow - OptiCoat Pro - 2016 BMW M3 Black Sapphire Metallic ...with a surprise!

Hey all!


Hope you're all getting ready to fill those bellies with Thanksgiving turkey, Ham, & all sorts of other delicious food!:drool:
As well as preparing your wallet for all the stuff you'll be buying Friday! :D


So here's a cool M3 we worked on recently. One of the first few cars we've polished & coated in our new shop! Received a 2 step, OptiCoat Pro , & Gloss Coat application.
List of products used:


-ONR
-3D BDX
-Speedy prep fine clay mitt
-Wheel woolies
-LA's Totally Awesome


-M100
-M205
-OptiCoat Primer Polish
-MFCP
-MFFP


-OptiCoat Pro
-Gloss Coat
-FlyBy Forte
-CQuartz DLux




So as always, we start with he wheels. Which as for any BMW, are always full of brake dust!

BDX took care of that no problem & LATA took off that nasty dealership tire dressing.

The car was then washed, decontaminated, dried & taped up for polishing.


Paint wasn't in terrible condition but there were a good chunk of sanding marks. Paint was pretty hard too so that did not make removal of these defects any easier.

Jeez how does a 2016 model take so much beating already. Car tunnel washes?
 
I can't speak highly enough about Anthony. He's spent a couple weeks with me helping out in the shop and WOW this guy for his age is incredibly mature and an extremely talented hard worker. His work here shows that. Great Job my friend!
 
Great job. I am considering a new X6 in Black Sapphire Metallic. This thread was very helpful! Good to know that the BSM is a hard clear. I was worried about the old Jet Black Metallic issues popping up.

I have never heard of or seen Jet Black Metallic..
I have only seen Jet Black which is a little softer than the rest of the BMW paint colors.
