Hood before sanding:





Hood after sanding with micro mesh 4000 to remove over spray. I clayed first, then followed with the MM 4k. This makes very short work of any overspray:

Nice job. This was the one that Joe was telling me about. Looks like a good bit of work with a great turn around.

Great detail... Chrome does not look good on that.



May want to consider a second coat of tire dressing... maybe its just the pics, but it looks blotchy

Thanks MachNU! Yes it was a bit of a PITA for sure.

gmblack3- Ah, so that`s how it finally turned out Very nice :xyxthumbs



So you were able to go straight to the M205/tangerine after the SurBufs, huh?

[C. Charles Hahn]

Looks much better indeed!

Thank you Accumulator! No issue at all going to tang/m205. It actually finished out very well, but went with black after to ensure a high level of gloss.

Looks much better indeed!

Thanks Charlie!

Which grit, David?

[David Fermani]

I prefer the 4000 grit. For years we used to sand every car we did for dealers/retail with this stuff. Call Micro-Surface, ask for Debbie Abraham and ask for some samples. Tell he I referred you and you`re golden.

Thanks; I`ll give them a call tomorrow and see about giving it a shot. This seems like an interesting technique for sure.

A black SUV.............my idea of a goodtime :high5: just did a estimate for the exact car Bryan and the owner did NOT like the number discussed(Just cannot understand why that was??).



The owner of the shop I managed had one of these and it was the 20 minute color.......looked good for 20 minutes, what a turn around Bryan!, and who said you could deviate from using D300 with a Surbuf pad??(lol).

Hey there beautiful work!



I am doing the exact same rover today with even worse paint !

May I ask what you quoted the customer for this work ?

I love this paint, very polishable in my experience. No gummy, grabby stuff, just medium paint to polish - hella flaky with metallic too. Nice work Bryan.
