Oakes - Detailed: 1995 Toyota Supra - Black Beauty

OakesDetail · 09-20-09, 06:28

Full detail of a 1995 Toyota Supra, in Single Stage Black. The majority of this vehicle is the original paint and was showing some signs of it's age, the issue with Single Stage paint is that it's a little more delicate than Clear Coat Paint. I'm usually hesitant to use harsher compounds because I don't have layers of clear to work. Regardless, I was able to remove quite a bit of the defects and return the gloss to the entire car in prep for this weekend's Cystic Fibrosis show!

Process:
Menzerna 203 - Orange
Menzerna PO85RD - Green
Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Sealant - Blue
Collinite's No. 845

The rear bumper was severely oxidized, these 50/50s show the difference made.

I like it. I have to get around to tackling the SS paint on my mr2 one of these days. Too busy doing other cars.

Great job man! What type of power is that beast putting out?

OakesDetail · 09-20-09, 07:59

Thanks guys! As far as the power, I don't know the exact numbers but seeing the mods - HUGE single turbo, big FMIC and a few other tid bits like a triple disc clutch and lightweight flywheel as the owner informed me has been in the car for 10 years and he loves it. My guess would be in the 500 hp range.

nice work on the car man. those are nice. I know the paint on them can be thin. That looked good! nice to see some Ardex out there!

Great work, I love those supras!

Looks very nice but are you sure its a single stage paint? A friend of mine has one of those that had the same color when he bought it but his was clearcoated. His Supra are black with plue pearl these days, soooo beatiful

Btw, its odd to see them with left hand drive, almost everyone here in Sweden are imported from Japan and are right hand drive.

Nice work
