    Hey, Bryan.



    What compressor setup do you use with that sander?

    I`m glad the 3000 Trizact is working out for you. It`s addictive isn`t it?

    Wow, amazing job man. What kind of things cause that much damage and swirling (sp?) on a dark color car like that? Is it from people who don`t wash with nice and soft towels, or is it from frequent visits to the regular car wash with brushes? I am asking because I am getting a brand new black car next week, and I want to make sure that I don`t do anything to damage it or cause swirling or markings on the paint.





    BTW, does that Benz have any engine upgrades fro Lorinser, or is it just cosmetic stuff?

    60 gallon upright from HD. I think they where $400 back when I bought it and now they are $450 or so. I have used a 30ish gallon that was 5.5-6cfm. It will work, but sometimes on larger areas it will start to run out of steam.

    David, I really like the trizact setup. I used the 1500 trizact on one section of the trunk, its very "smooth" for a 1500 cut.

    Thanks Jimmy! The client just bought this car 6 weeks ago. The car has a sticker from a scratch and shine on the northside of town, so IMO that is where the defects came from. Two bucket wash, quality MFs and wash media are what you should be using.



    I believe Lorinser does suspension as well as bling, I do not think any engine work.

    040 black is so soft, it should polish out easily.

    Black paint is a part time job. Seriously.

    John, As deep as the defects are, nothing is easy yet.

    You`re absolutely right nothing is EASY when it comes to black paint. The results are looking great though. Good job.

    My PTG tells me that I have some repainted panels coming up, so just when you think you have it figured out, they change the questions. :xyxthumbs
