White EL almost done

MANNNNN! i love this car! You def. gave it justice. I hadnt seen one in white yet but this is great!



I love this house. Man idk how that guy chooses what car he want to drive. Ive seen a coupld different c&bs from this guys house (and it is AWSOME). Plus, i can see atleast 2 porsches in the garage.
 
Not doing a pro before/after here, just the afters as I am taking my time doing trying to learn as I go with different posts and questions out there. Engine has been posted on another thread, but the body is here to thank all the input and prodding on getting it done:

Please provide feedback as it is hard to get a good shot on this paint (at least is has been so far until I have someone show me the right way).

I figure I might as well say what process I followed even without the befores:

Wash:
ONR 2BM
APC+
various brushes

Clay with Clay Magic and ONR for lube

105 on orange pad speed 6 with PC, 205 on white pad speed 6

Sides and front (except running boards which I will get to) have 2 coats BFWD (applied with black pad, speed 3)
Roof as one coat (PITA to work up there)
Hood - 2 coats

No problem.
The pad that I like to use for applying BFWD is the Gold Kompressor. That is so soft, and it feels like the pad just glides across the paint.
 
Sadly I only have 2 orange, 2 white and 1 black flat LC pad. I was given 2 orange pads with the dimples, but I don't care for them on the PC. Still a hobby at the moment for me (growing, but nothing outside of my vehicles so far)
 
I liked the tips a lot...I liked the photo's even better... W O W ! ! !

I hope someone can chime in ....



I have a really hard time taking before pictures in order to show all the defects on the paint prior to a paint correction.



I have a nikon d90!



Thanks
 
Alot depends on your lighting. You need to experiment to see what pics up the swirls the best. Full sun / dark room with halogens....
