2007 Ridgeline, Nimbus Gray Metallic

[SCutchins]

Heavily metallic paint so its hard to get a good reflection. I am also disappointed in how bad the orange peel is on the stock paint, except for on the hood which is great.



No before pictures. Its only 6 months old so its in fairly good shape, but it did have some surprisingly bad water spots on the hood and fenders.



It was raining when I finished so most of the pics are in the garage, I took the outside ones in the morning before leaving for work.



Steps were:

PO106ff with a white pad - rotary

Z-PC with a gray pad - rotary

Z-AIO with a gray pad - DA

Z-5 Pro x2 (ZFX)

Z-CS

Z-2 Pro x3 (ZFX)

Z-8

This shot really shows off the orange peel.

The paint on the hood is great, too bad the whole truck wasn't painted as well.

The lens of the camera is touching the hood. Zaino really does an amazing job reflecting, and remember that this is very metallic paint!

Nice reflections of your workstation. The shelves and everyone blend right into the car.

Thanks for the complements, it was a good bit of work but it was fun.



I just went out and took some more photos, although the truck has been outside for a few days so it has a nice coat of dust and pollen on it. The sides aren't too bad, although the hood is pretty well covered.

Sun is right in my face.

You can see how bad the orange peel is. I'm really disappointed in the paint, I thought Honda paint was smoother than this.

You can see how metallic the paint is.
