1995 Camaro SS "Clone"

[RickyMartinZ28]

I`ve recently retired the Camaro from Daily Driving, and it`s undergoing some extensive correction and cleaning... I`ll be updating this thread as I go...



Here is a preview of what I`m working on...

The hood and spoiler have recently been sprayed and sprayed poorly... I`m cleaning these up with 2000, 3000, and then Menzerna Intensive Polish on a 4" LC Yellow Pad with a PC 7424... I`ll be coming back over it with a finishing polish and an LSP... But for now this is how we`re looking...



The car is also being Rebadged and completely gone through, I`ll be working on it during my evenings here and there and days off... Could take awhile...



Thanks for looking...

wow man, that paint had a BAD case of the orange peel! how much time di dyou have invested in...say...the hood alone? cutting, buffing, polishing, all that?

[RickyMartinZ28]

I`ve got 1/4 of the hood done, about 3 good hours, and I`ve still got to actually "polish" it...



The hood wasn`t prepped, so I`m having to do the best I can using only the clear to smooth it out...



I decided to take it and have it painted, and this is what I got. I should have just done it myself. The spoiler is worse...



I`ll find a good pic of the orange peel, it`s stupid. Luckily I have about 3 good coats of clear to work with...

Here are a couple pics of the orange peel, it`s about the same as the hood. Luckily, the spoiler is pretty much only orange peel, and I`m not having to correct actual body shop problems using the clear....
