1983 Ford Bronco II - 12 hr Recovery

[bwalker25]

This is a 1983 Ford Bronco II that was washed prior to getting to me. So I re-washed it/clayed polished and uppp and upgp were final products used. I wanted to use M95 on this truck and started with that but that proved to be WAY to agressive for my purposes



Process

Wash

Clay - TOL Purple Clay (I like this stuff)

Orange pad with HT-Fast Cut (Medium)

White Pad with HT-Smooth Cut (Light)

Blue Pad with UPPP

UPGP by hand



The roof I didn't do (bad me I know), it had been repainted 14 days ago and wasn't ready for wax/polish just yet...



Before

Not many before shots, but enjoy these



Afters

Notice that in the upper right corner, thats the faded spot and side of the hood that I haved done yet...

close up - right side of hood

yup you can seen my house in this one!

Overall this truck took 12 hours and was a true joy to work on, as it was my first SS Paint correction. I did polish through a couple spots but the owner (my father inlaw) didn't mind at all. The interior was vacuumed however my dirty feet got in there before the pictures were taken so there is some loose dirt in there, but overall in great shape.



Thanks for looking....

Thanks! I thought the thing was going to be royal blue, but instead it turned out to be a medium/lighter blue than I thought. It still could use a little more polishing on some parts but, I didn't want to risk burning the paint again or anything like that.



That was my first attempt at a 50/50 shot, and I thought it turned out pretty good (the hood picture)

thanks, I just noticed that I totally forgot the door jambs back of the truck (blue part) didn't get done either because I forgot...
