A couple trashed cars; Z06, IS300...

[imported_Picus]

Hey everyone; just a couple today. First up is a C5 Z06, the pics will speak for themselves. Process:



Wash, clay

HT EC/OP via yellow @1500

HT HC via orange @ 1400

IP via white @1300

Z5pro

Nattys Blue (I had time. ).



Ya, IP finished down clean. In fact I tried 106FF first as always and it hazed. Hard paint baby.

2001 Lexus IS300, bought used and abused. This one was actually tougher than the Corvette since the paint was very uncooperative; it had a lot of deep marring too.



Process:



Wash, clay

Wetsanded hood, headlights, drivers side rear quarter. All with 3k, except hood which got 2000 then 3000.

EC/OP via wool pad @1600 (ya, big guns!)

HC via orange @ 1500

FPII via grey @1200

AJT



I didn't take any befores of the hood because I'm a moron. It was the roughest part by far, a lot of long straight deep scratches, maybe from a snow brush?

Whoa! Nice work!

Some of my car's first few mods. So far, debadge, roundel change, alum pedals, sidemarker delete, tint, clear bra, and springs.



Before springs:

After springs:

Cheers guys.

Incredible work on the Lexus and Z06, both were amazingly fubared in the before shots. :noes: You really got the paint to look clear deep and wet on both...and your car looks terrific, really love the debadging.

Great work as always :2thumbs: . That bimmer looks great with those mods. Are you gonna stick with the stock rims or get some new ones?

After looking at your details it makes me want to get into a different profession. What awesome details! Your car looks fantastic. :bow

Man, it sits much nice with the springs. How did it change the ride quality?



BTW, you did an awesome job with those other two cars.

Ride quality is better. A little less jarring over big bumps/potholes, pretty much the same otherwise. Changing the run flats helped too. Cheers.

That IS300 looks absolutely insane! Perhaps I'm partial since I own a red one, but still!
