Nice work....I just finished up one yesterday......these cars are pretty tricky to finish down. before reading what LSP you used, I could see the notorioius streaks left behind in some of the sun shots. (not knocking your work, it happens to me too, just gotta shake up the bottle and let it cure a little more) looks great.

Yeah, I have found with Blackfire that if it does not cure just right it will leave some fine chemical streaking. Only reason they are in the photos was as you see from the reflections it was pretty on and off cloudy. So as the sun was out I was trying to get pictures then wiping it down.

omg so nice

I haven`t seen a black on one person yet, this one looks stunning afterwards!

The ones I have seen around here are silver or white?!

These cars, by far, the most impressive sounding cars when the driver really gets on it off the line and revs thru all gears. Aural nirvana at its finest. :)

Nice work!

Really? They must all live in GA. All I see is black ones. Hell this is the 5th paint correction I have done on a black one. Did a little work on a white one. Hell even at Forged Performance, they have about 8-9 there at all times and almost all of them are black or grey. lol




Nice work!



Thanks




Looks fantastic!

Beautiful!



Thanks

Nice improvement on a sweet ride. That paint looked pretty bad. I guess putting a sticker of a Japanese character on a Japanese car is the thing to do? LOL
