(a Lot Of Pictures)back From The Painter-a Little Bit Tidied Up

Some measurements to see how much CC left after wet sanding and compounding from the painter

And some pictures after polishing with rotary polisher (first try) and Menzerna Power Gloss on wool pad,and Menzerna RD3,02 on LC CCS 5,5'' white polishing pad with DA polisher...
Tomorrow i will do the finish with Megs #80 on polishing pad with DA polisher and #7 by hand..
I will do the wheels interior and engine bay next week.
In the future i have to wetsand it because of the orange peel that is on the paint...
Thanks for looking,and as always advises are welcome...Also if there is anywhere a ''wetsand guide'' pls let me know

The only good thing it is that a lot of people will turn to see it,so the advertising decals on the car they will do their job

I think the problem is that the colors are too solid (not the black and white part of it, but just the "strongness of the colors towards the shift part) and the shift is too sudden. As the color shifts towards the middle of the car, the mirror on top of that is completely white, it should have been darker or even black like your photoshop one.

no offense but get ya money back, that looks like it was rattle canned...no way in hell i would have accepted the car back like that..and that painter ought to be ashamed of himself, if he couldnt do it like u wanted he should have never taken the job..
Re: (a Lot Of Pictures)back From The Painter-a Little Bit Tidied Up
i know that maybe it is the worst paintjob ever....The painter promised that he could do it as i wanted,but you can see the results....Also the colour selection was a huge mistake....I will try to ''connect'' them with some decals or some airbrush work..
Unfortunately almost everybody in that F@#$%#$32 country think that he is the best,he knows everything and they don't listen suggestions.I knew that nobody could ever do this as i wanted so i found the cheapest painter on my area....
We had a very loud conversation last week when i advised him how to do the painting, so i decided to let him finish,pay him,fix it by my self and never go back to him for any reason....
I guess is time to learn how to paint cars
