20vturbo 0 Posted June 2, 2009 great work. Looking amazing in thats colour. :clap: Hmmm. Wonder what odds a booky would give me for this car being featured in PVW once its finished. well unless they come looking for me i doubt it will happen but if they want to feature it i would be more than happy its not coming home today, im leaving it with them and im going up on thursday to give them a hand sanding and buffing, they want to do it before the paint gets too hard.

20vturbo 0 Posted June 8, 2009 started sanding and compounding today started with the orbital sander and 1500 grit. then we used 3m trizact 3000 with the orbital sander to finish it off. then theres a 5 stage compounding and polishing process. today we got the whole car sanded and the bonnet and roof compounded with 3m green fast cut should have it all done tomorrow theres not a bad shine considering its only the fast cut compound this ones for the people who dont think im 16 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
