Thanks Scott. I do love the look of Opti-Coat!

Very nice!!!! How did you find the Mazda 6 paint?? Hard, soft, easy to correct etc Thinking about this one for my next car as it seems a nice compromise between performance and practicality.

Thanks Pwaug. To me, anything that correct with LC Orange w/ 205 on a PC 7424XP is soft paint. The PC is not a very "tough" machine and I was able to correct the few issues this car had in under an hour. The owner is actually my friend`s mother and he picked out the car for her. He says it`s a blast to drive, has decent MPG and performance. The cockpit is nicely set up too, so you`re not struggling to find obvious things. This particular one had the Nav and I used it briefly, seems pretty streamline. All-in-all, nice car all around!

I really like those... Classy looking.

Nice work.
