Ive got a set of wheels I need to paint and the backs are pretty heavily loaded with brake dust. I`ve used some brake parts cleaner and a maroon scuff pad to remove most of it but there is still some there. I`m actually planning on blasting the wheels so I may be wasting my time anyway. Just...

Hit and run

Clear Delam And buffed the whole car

Same color as the last on I did. Same owner, same color, different car. I pulled the dent with a stud puller and a light layer of filler and primer

This car belonged to a kid in the neighborhood. Body shop wanted $1000 for a new bumper and to paint it. His parents were making him pay out of pocket for it to learn a lesson. I decided to help him out. I had him come by and I supervised him and is friend in the prep. I had him supply the...

Just looking for my next compound. M101 worked well with wool and foam. Dusted a good bit but it did cut. I have 3d aat but it doesn`t as well.

Just finished this one up today. The hood had clearcoat delam so it was repainted. It has some severe water spots on the top and trunk that wouldn`t come out. I even ran over it with some 2000 but it wouldn`t touch them. Apparently the car sat under a sprinkler multiple times in the sun. With it...

Possibly looking to get a new buffer/polisher. Right now using a dewalt rotary with wool and foam pads. I do a good bit of painting on the side so sanding and buffing is always done mainly because of trash getting in the finish. Looking to see what other good options are out there. Ive been...

Just got through with this one and all the build pictures are in the body & mechanical portion of the forum Here:71 Firebird Before: Here are the final pics:

I`ve recently learned about a new company called Tamco that I`ve been in talks with for a few weeks. The owner posted some interesting info about clearcoat and resins/additives. I thought some if you might find this interesting as well. This company uses BASF resins and uv in their clears. If...

I remember back in 2006 and up until a few years ago I saw a post on here by him almost daily. Seems like it just stopped at the end of 2015. Anyone hear from him?

Should be starting this one within the next few weeks. Going to take it to my friend for dustless blasting and I will take it from there. I will post updates as I go.

This was somewhat of a quickie job. I got the car Wednesday night and had them pick it up this morning. Stripped the hood, prime, wet sand, base and clear. Replaced headlights and for lights. Went over the whole car with HD Polish to remove oxidation. No correction was really done. Just shine it...

It was time for me to order some new pads and my go to compound has been AAT for the past year to year and a half. I don`t do a lot of detailing by it self anymore. Most of my work is repaints. If anyone here paints you know how hard it is to keep dust out of a job and since I do small items...
