This is the hood of my 97 Saab 9000 Turbo. I spent about 2 hours on it today to get the results you see.
1-2 passes with IP on a woolpad
1 pass with IP on a cutting pad
1 pass with SSR1 on a cutting pad
2 passes with SSR1 on a polishing pad
1 pass of AIO with a surbuf pad
topped with Stoner Max Bead
About half the hood got some hand treatment with PP too.
Now if I can get the rest of the car looking that good!!!
This shot is just too cool not to post ...
did you use a pc or an orbital or a high speed?
Well I did skip a minor detail didn`t I?? I used a PC. The thought of me holding a rotary is pretty scary!! :lmfao
Great work, i love the deep richness of that black paint.
;)
Thanks Mike :jump - it`s actually dark blue but there is nothing in those shots to give the color away.
Didn`t get to work on the rest of the car today. :(
That last shot is "calendar worthy"!!! :bigups.
Very nice work. You`re inspiring me to start tackling my neglected black beast. I just need some of that GA weather now. :whine
Can`t wait to see the rest of the Saab. Is it clear coated? A friend of mine said Saab never clearcoats Black (I know you said it was blue, but it is a beautiful dark blue)
Nice job. Great clarity.
Thanks for the compliments. :)
It is clear coat. It`s also metallic but it takes the perfect lighting to see the flakes. I`m hoping that Wolfgang will bring it out a bit when I`m all done. Let`s see at one panel at a time with my upcoming schedule - that should be about July!!
Excellent work Dalmore! :bigups
Nice pics too!
