Z2Pro/Z8 on Titanium Elise

[chevyguy28]

Usually not a Click&Brag sort of guy, but was pleased to see how the metallic flakes came out, so I couldn't resist. New car, so the process wasn't too involving.



- ClayMagic Blue clay

- Menzerna Final Polish II

- 3 coats of Z2 Pro

- Raggtop vinyl protectant on tires and trim

- Zaino Z10 on leather and interior vinyl

- Z8 about a month later



The picture was taken the following morning after Z8 was applied. Z2 Pro and Z8 seem to require some curing time on this car. It really takes a day or two for both products to harden up and for the slickness to come out. Final slickness is similar to Mezerna FMJ or Platinum UPP. I want to try both of those on this car to see how it looks.

:bow Beautiful work.



I really like the Elise. It's like a go-cart for grownups...all engine and focus on the racing function.

I have noticed that Z8 will continue to improve over time as well. The whole Zaino product line is great. No complaints here.

that looks insane....i love that car and the paint looks great....good job

 

[chevyguy28]

Thanks for the kind comments. The metallic pattern is a bit more coarse that most paints, so it's easy to get the flake to come out.



montoya,

My dad is in Toronto these days. Nice place too!

i just cant wait to get a comparrison between the Z2Pro, FMJ, and UPP... I just want to know which one "looks" best.

 

[imported_Axe]

WOW stunning, that is absolutely minted! :bow:

I just did a comparison on the differences between UPP and Zaino and found that they are very similar. IMO UPP seems to be a little slicker initially, but Zaino (for some reason) starts to get a little more slick after a couple of days. You can't go wrong with either one. I love em both!:bow

That color is sick, awesome job on the detail!

I just saw that car yesterday for the first time parked in a diner parking lot. It was like a mustard yellow, I wasn't to crazy for the color, but seeing how small it is reminded me of a little golf kart. One Very fast golf kart, must be a blast to drive and scoot around in town.
