Nice car Anthony. BTW, the paint code plate is usually under the hood on F-cars and it lists the actual color name. These cars are actually painted with PPG Ceramiclear. Why don't you use Menzerna any longer?

Because Jeff Silver says that we are not good enough to use his products?

It was clear and it was in the medium range as far as hardness goes. The 3M, 105, Hi-Temp Extreme and also the Optimum beta product all cut the paint down easily with the foamed wool and left behind whispy buffer trails which were easily cleaned up using a medium polishing pad, like LC's white pad.

Hey David, nice to see you again and thanks for the heads up on the paint code area....I looked for that the other day on another 430 I did.

The Menzerna deal is, in a nutshell, just as Todd stated but also that when I only sought the opinions and experiences of others regarding 106 I was basically shot down as someone with an "agenda" (due to my relationship with Optimum, yet I have been using and endorsing Menzerna longer than most on this forum or other forums) to bad mouth Menzerna products by spreading rumors.

I brought this up over at Autogeek (that thread I started has since been removed, not closed for future readers but literally removed. Which in itself is telling) and after some posts Mr. Silver came in and tried to correct me in my claims that 106 didn't so much fill imperfections in paint but rather swelled it. I was basically ridiculed for even suggesting that a product could temporarily swell paint by many people yet it seems more plausible now that I may have been correct. In my mind he was unsuccessful in his attempt and I feel it was not handled well on their end so I refuse to continue to support them.

I had great results with 3M which says a lot because I never really cared for their products but I am impressed with the new stuff.

Thanks again Dave.

Now.....for those wanting to try a little experiment, try this.

Take a container that can be capped, like a 32ounce container, and fill it 1/3 with 106, 1/3 with water and leave 1/3 for air. Shake the container vigorously and then strain it through a coffee filter. What do you get left behind? This can be done with many products. Share your results with the class.

You'll be fine I am sure. If working with the udm just take your time, don't rush it. Have you ever noticed that a consistent drop of water over a period of time can chip away at solid rock and concrete? This is how I like to look at paint correction. Slow and steady as she goes mate

Love to see pictures of it when done.

Anthony

Great job Anthony and a pleasure to have you back. I am sure it was a pleasure to work on something like that. Not your average Ferrari...

JoshVette · 07-05-08, 08:25

Looking real good. Great work on a great car.

Anthony, I'm sure you're getting sick of all the "welcome back!" posts, but I just gotta say it really is great to see you back.

Your work has always been among the very best. Good to see it again!

Beautiful car. I'm sure the owner was very happy with the outcome.

G35stilez · 07-10-08, 12:25

Looks amazing.

The colour is called "Giallo Silverstone". It's one of the best Ferrari colours available, IMO.

MobileJay · 07-10-08, 01:31

that is a bad a$$ car and like always you made it look great, good to see you back.

Nah, it's great to see all the "welcome backs" (for which I thank DavidB.) in the forums and also good to hear from people calling me.

Thank you for the kind words

Ahh, yes that's the color name! I couldn't remember the first name to that color because the car owner would say it so fast

Thanks for the compliment and also for the color name.

Hey, nice to be back so thank you for that and also the compliment. He took the car up to Toronto so I hope it's still looking good.

Thank you again all,
Anthony

superb work and a lovely looking Ferrari - very nice to see one that isnt just red but has a colour combo that really suits it

amazing finish you achieved as well. Whenever I see a detail with OS as the LSP by itself it reminds me I really need to do this instead of just using it as a topper all the time
