This thing is a beauty...some carbon fiber tastefully placed and powder coated rims as well as a painted front grill. Very nice.
Process on Paint:
Wash via Foamgun + Shmitt Clay via Claymagic
SSR 2.5 via 6" Yellow LC on Rotary at 1800 RPM (Up to 3 times in places)
SSR 2.5 via 4" Orange LC on PC at 6
SSR 1 via 4" White LC on PC at 6 Pinnacle Souveran by hand
Wheels and glass was clayed then cleaned with AIO and sealed with SG
On to the pictures...
Before:        
During:   
After:        
Cheers!

I really like how the tires are not very glossy, just a nice classy clean look, what did you use on them? | |

Fantistic work on this one! Not too many people seem to use Poorboys anymore, but I still use it with great results. You show off how well the products work! | |

Yea I really love the Poorboys SSR line. The only thing i hate is the dusting, its like a freaking storm when I'm polishing with that stuff.
