Whippled Cobra

[mixxer]

03-04 black whippled cobra detail



Exterior only, paint has typical black paint swirls and some bad hard water etching. Owner and i decided to do an AIO with a coat of EX topped with Natty blue. total time 4 -4 1/2 hours



DID NOT DO ENGINE BAY BUT POSTED A PIC BECAUSE I FIGURED YOU ASK.



Washed - foam gun ,two bucket, DP extreme soap and poorboys bugsquash



AIO - done with pc with poliseal and orange 5.5 pad to try and get the most correction we could from pc and aggressive pad.



2nd step- coat of EX let cure on car for 45- 1 hour.



LSP - a coat of nattys blue , final wipe down for inspection by owner done with megs ultimate QD.



Wheels- washed with SURFCITY



Tires - dressed with optimum



Outside plastics and trim- Dressed with bold n bright.



Turned out real well considering it was only AIO ed ,next time maybe ill talk him into a 1 or 2 step paint correction.

Looks great, love the Terminators. I have a sample of PoliSeal that I am just craving to try. Also have a sample of Meguiars D151 and some Hi Temp HT 69 commin in soon.

the poliseal is great to work with ,i actually started the car using HT-69 and had trouble getting it off so i switched. The HT-69 has more correction ability but its finiky some times. If you didnt order the ht yet and you want a sample let me know.

I love the car and with using just Poli Seal the level of correction is great. However why in your pictures does it say "Do fish get thirsty? Take the dumb test now." After every picture??

I was wondering the same thing and wanted to click the link but didn't...haha



Anyway great job on the car, I went out to VIR in an 03 cobra that was mostly stock and it was scary fast.

HAHA!! Yeah buddy; Mixxy induced holograms with OptiSeal and a PC...not gonna happen on this paint; its too hard (I own an 04 and have used the same combo).



Maybe induced by other methods; and I've seen point-n-shoot digital cameras do that in bright sun as well :doh

That paint needs a lot more help than an AIO. Sadly, it can be hard to convince customers of this.

Looks darn good!

That's an incredible looking Cobra with those wheels. The paint looks wasted and I'll bet has a bad case of acid rain damage.
