2011 Toyota Tundra Minimal Paint Correction and Gloss Enhancement

[Merlin]

The paint surface was extremely gritty and badly contaminated.
You didn't need to do a baggie test to feel the nasty in this paint.

The main issue was the paint had become very dull and foggy.
When completed the paint was clear, bright and shiny again.

Wash: (2 bucket method), Iron-X Snow soap and Incredimitt.
Decon: IronX LS (Lemon Scent) & Speedy Surface Prep Towel.
Defect Leveling: Rupes 21 with Megs D300 & Megs 5" mf finishing disc.
Gloss Enhancement: Lake Country 5" Black foam with Carpro Reflect.
Glass: CeriGlass with PC7424/5" Glass Rayon pads & Fast Glass cloth.
Trim and Tires: DLux coating & PERL (Plastic, Engine, Rubber, Leather) .
Paint Prep: Car-Pro Eraser wipe-down twice on all polished surfaces.
Last Step Product: Two coats of Collinite 845 followed with Natty's Red.

Thanks for looking.

G2...it was a hot day.

Five minutes after the client picked up his truck the sky turned black and opened up!

Between the IW and Natty's Red, it should have parted the water like Moses :lol2:

Awesome work Merlin !!!

Really nice work. Looks great! I noticed you used the Nattys Red over the Collinite. I assume that you feel you feel the Nattys adds something additional in the looks dept on white paint?

For plain ole' white Coli 845 offers shine and longevity. IMHO Natty's kicks the shine up a notch over 845 but it does not have 845's durability.
Coli 845 is pretty easy to apply & remove. Natty's red paste is even easier than Coli 845 and liquid blue is even easier and brighter than red.
If I would have thought about it, I would have used liquid blue. I used Coli 845 for durability and Natty's to "kick it up a notch" for delivery.

Nice work! The truck looks brand new. I'm sure the client was happy.
How much does a typical job like this bill out for? In June, you should charge double!!

I JUST got done with a panel using Liquid Natty's / 845 / Liquid Natty's and yes, it pops! A final wipe after curing with FK425 and it's embarrassingly glossy.

Yepper, it was pretty big...luckily there was not a lot of correction needed and there was a lot of flat surface.

 

[sprocketser]

You got lucky in a way , how did you got the roof done ! these are pretty high right ! 1/2 ton to 1 ton s lots of work .

 

[Merlin]

Some folks that do a lot of these, purchase a few so they can walk around the truck.

 

[sprocketser]
