Black Supercharged Infiniti G35 Coupe Custom

Excellent clean-up. You are lucky to ave worked on that as a repaint, that Infiniti paint is a witch to work on...

The guy dropped a supercharger on a car with a bad tranny? Not too smart, sounds like the move of a guy that would put a mid-80`s Camaro fiberglass hood scoop on a G35, oops!

I had an extremely hard time with this paint, so I think would have rather worked on the factory paint even though it is a witch to work with.

As for the hood scoop, it`s not my style, but to each his own!

First of all, very nice work on that G. I am speechless. While I was looking a the first set of pics, I was doubting whether it was a G35 or not with the hood bulge and side vents. Outrageous customization on that for sure. Once again, beautiful detail work...

Jake, the owner made the hood himself and the side vents are from a 2008 Porsche 911 that have been custom fabricated into the quarter panels. He did an excellent job with fit and finish. I was pretty impressed with the work he did.

Great work, but I hate the hood.

**rundatrack** · 01-09-2008, 05:27 PM

Its a automatic

*leaves thread crying in hands*

Like cowl hoods on notchbacks only but this is kewl I guess

Great work regarding the detailing..

**LanceM** · 01-09-2008, 05:56 PM

great job on the detail. the hood and the rear sticker made me throw up a lil in my mouth though.

^+1 , coming from a g35driver...

**imageautodetail** · 01-09-2008, 08:51 PM

looks sick, but I cant believe it is an automatic

Great work Rick! The cars that take the longest are the most rewarding for sure!

Do you have any 3M Ultra Fina to try? I am thinking you would not have had any issues w/ the UF finishing down hologram free. At least that has been my experience with it so far. I also like the 3M blue foam pad that is made to work with the UF.

Bryan, it`s funny you ask! I gave Rydawg a call when I was having a hard time with it and he recommended I try using Ultrafina. I called around everywhere and stopped by 4 auto body supply stores and nobody carried it. It sounds like it would have been the perfect product for my situation. It is definitely on my list of supplies to get along with the 3M Extra Cut Compound.

How do you think UF performs compares to 106ff? From what I`ve heard, it sounds like it has a little less cut, but finishes off better on soft paints. Have you used it on harder paints yet?

Rick, Now that you mention the story, I recall Ryan telling me that you almost drove an hour each way in a blinding snow storm to pick some up from him. :grinno:

Yes less cut, but finishes better on softer paints. Longer working time then 106ff IMO. I have not tried it on any hard clears yet. Ryan also said he prefers the flat back sided 3M blue foam pads to the other style that have the indension. I have the flat back sided pads. They work great....

Ultra Fina method from Ryan: Work in for a min. or so at 800-1000. Got to 1500 and apply some pressure to make your passes, back down to 800-1000 with machine weight to finish it off. When you are at 1500 it just seems that you can work the UF forever.

Yes the 3m ECC will get some cutting done for you when needed. You just about buff it dry and it wipes off easier then any polish I have ever used.

Thanks for the info Bryan. I have the day off from work, so I might take a ride to see if I can track down some of both. I really need to give the Z06 a good polishing soon.

**gmblack3** · 01-11-2008, 11:09 AM

No problem Rick! Do you have any of these stores around you?Company: Store Locator

They had it in stock at my local store, but not the pads. They are a new store.

Interested in hearing how it works on your Z06.

**Rickrack** · 01-11-2008, 11:18 AM

Bryan, thanks again!

I`m going to give them a call right now and take a ride if they carry it. It`s about a 20 min ride away.

I will be sure to let you know how it works on the Z.
