1999 black Porsche 911 Correction

[Thomas Dekany]

I was asked to not put any extra time into this paint but to just do a basic detail.



The paint was in pretty ruff shape, but that is expected with any flat black color.



I wanted to clean up the paint as much as possible with a 1 step, so I pulled out an orange pad from DI and my fresh bottle of HD UNO



This cleaned up the paint so well but didn`t finish as well as it normally does. So I tried my bottle of Gtechniq P1



This not only cleaned it up equally well, but it finished out alot better. However the P1 dusted like hell. I`ve never seen anything like it. But I knew the I was going to wash the car again anyway, so I didn`t mind it much.



This paint was by far the easiest paint I have ever worked on. Untill I got to the right rear quarter. That was a repaint and it was rock hard. Even 2 passes with wool and HD UNO left lots of rids behind so those are to stay for now. The interior still needs to be done today as well as the exhaust and trim/tires



Process



foam bath x2

3D clay

HD UNO orange 3" pad rotary to remove a foot long scrath on hood

P1 orange pad

P1 white pad

Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite blue pad

HD POXY gray 3M pad

Here is the car after HD POXY and for a change we had a sunny day and at 7pm the sky was still clear.



Both before and after pictures were taken in full manual mode without any enhancements.

Wow! That thing was hammered! You made a huge improvement! :thumb:





I still need to try my P1...

[Thomas Dekany]

Thank you very much.

[Thrillseeker]

That should whet their appetite to get a full correction done in the near future. Nice job!

[AeroCleanse]

If you see P1 starting to dust, just mist a little water on.

Thanks - it is a dealership, and honestly, people in oregon don`t really car that much about paint.

[Thomas Dekany]

Not sure why but as soon as I turned the polisher on it would dust right away. Gummed up often as well. Kept washing the pad. :D
