'83 Datsun 280ZX. Single Stage White!

[David703]

I've never ever had a car with paint as hard as this one. I thought it would be easy.. but let me tell you it wasn't.

The finish before i started was like chalk. I need a diamond studded pad next time. I used the HT and couldn't wipe it off, the haze sorta became part of the paint. It was really wierd. I had to remove with 50/50 solution, something I never had to do before.



Next time someone has SS white for me, I'll pass.



HTEC and PG with rotory (used them interchangeably)

IP with rotory

FP with PC

Optimum Spray wax.



Inside was clean already I did nothing to it. I just added a photo or two for the heck of it.

Wow she looks in tip top shape!! You certainly brought the gloss and wetness out of the white!!!! Interior looks great...how miles does it have on it?

 

[imported_rydawg1]

wow! That brings back memories. I have painted and detailed hundreds of those. I miss those cars. They are hard to come by now and are rare to find in good rust free condition.



Great job!

I miss the beer coolers in the back

Great Job!!! The classic Japanese cars are the ones I really liked to see nicely detailed... This one is a real treat..

 

[GTFreddy]

Wow, awesome job.



Interesting condition on the car; is that the original "genuwine leather" tag? heheh

Man, I can tell that's one garage queen.

In my block there's '84 model and rusted to ground.

Man, that thing is MINT! My dad has an '80 10th Anniversary that has been fully restored but it's got a LOT of miles on it.

Wow! great work on that 280ZX it's so wet!:drool: It also reminds me of the one i had in japan in 83 (Fairlady Z).:goodjob

Looks amazing...car= drool

 

[imported_Denzil]

Wow, that car looks better than a lot of new cars out there. Great job with the white!

 

[imported_themightytimmah]

That's sick man. It's gotta look better than 99.99% of white cars out on the road right now.

 

[mikey]

WOW! Looks like it just rolled out of the new car showroom. Incredible work!
