Honestly I would of rather taken on a destroyed black anything lol. This was horrible there was sooooo much crap in the paint. It looked like the car had horrible acne. I working at record pace though I finished sanding it all last night at like 2am and then today so far I finished all my sanding scratch removal with SIP and rotary(Hey Todd that gallon of SIP is pretty much gone *Hint Hint*). So I just need to do a couple steps with SRC finishing with a white pad. A little jewling action with a red pad and probably SRC or PO85. And I`m thinking Fuzion pinnacle combo or mabey even BFWD/Pinnacle. Havent decided yet. I`ll post the done pics tomorrow

Wow just found out the shop where this car was being stored for the car show just ran it into a lift post...... I`m gonna go look at it in a few i`ll post a pic.. TRAGIC That was my mona lisa lol litterally saved that car about 95% and it had soooo much dust in the paint. It was sprayed in the middle of a shop not a booth

**Shockwav86** · 09-25-2012, 12:31 PM

O man....I`m sorry to hear that. Hopefully its not too bad. Good luck.

**Orinda Auto Detail** · 09-25-2012, 12:36 PM

Wow this bad it`s up on a lift so this was best pic I could get but the fender is crushed

**Shockwav86** · 09-25-2012, 02:11 PM

That is not good at all....

**Concours.John** · 09-25-2012, 07:49 PM

You`ve got to be kidding. Man that is really a bad deal. That won`t be an easy color to match. Hopefully there is room for repair and color blend.

I think whole front end needs to be redone... It looks like it all got pushed over the hood shifted about 2 1/2 inches. The cowl is shifted over, and the bumper is pointing down.... They got it off the lift and I went back over and looked at it. Im guessin 5k-10k to get it right.... Sad

Without going into a serious rant, let me say this. I wish people today would pay more attention to what they are doing. I understand accidents happen, but many things can be avoided. The texting and driving or makeup, or eating, etc and driving needs to stop as well. All you need to do is focus on the task at hand and get it done, and move on to the next thing. Otherwise, things like this happen. Then you are setback for more than what you would have gained by going "faster". Its like that saying "hurry up and slow down". Good luck to you sir. Rant over...
