All the best, Quinn I agree. I love the black car and wanted a black fgt but my wife didn't think it was such a good idea given the OCD I got over the black sgts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicShelby Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 On the fender seam and the door seam is the paint chipping? I have a Leica camera that looks very similiar to your Luminex. I love my Leica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2+2 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 The entire car was repainted PPG, 4 coats of clear, 3 step color sanding, 3 step buff, hand glaze. What products where used for sanding and buff/glaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 fender/door seam - whatever that is, you can't see it with naked eye. I'm guessing since the doors/fenders did not come off for the repaint that this is was a tape line for sanding/buffing to protect the edges which he did on all the edges for machine buffing as that is where you get into trouble and can burn through the clear. It was repainted because I wanted a better than factory finish and the PO had already caused damage to the paint removing/attempting to remove the vinyl. No more vinyl on the car - all paint now Painter used 3M products after paint to cut/buff. I used my PC and Meguiars Ultimate Compound to get the final swirls out before sealing.
