THe_DeTAiL3R Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Didn't get as much done on this 3-day weekend as I wanted to... Got the roof DONE and trunklid/spoiler, and a quick polish on the top of the quarter panels. Wetsanded the roof and trunklid, the trunklid I had put touchup paint on the scratches which are now invisible. Wetsanded the orange peel off my spoiler (painted it myself). Then 3M compound and swirl mark remover. Paint seal after that (in the pics). So that's pretty much all I got done in 6-7hrs... washed the car before that of course. (stupid flash screwed up the pic) Also I bought this stuff. I didn't have much time but i wanted to see if it works, so I used a terry cloth and HOLY SHIT the more I used it on my wheels the closer it got to looking as shiney as when my friend first polished them!!! I can't wait to sit around for a few hours on a nice day and make my wheels shiney again!!!! ...not bad for 11 year old paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 can you use that powerball stuff with a terry towel too? i'd like to try that on my wheels The PowerMetal polish you can use with a terry cloth... that's what I did. It got damn dirty real fast!! I think the powerball would work really nice, but I question how durable it is, and $30 is a bit pricey...

LukeZ34 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Where did you get the paint for the spoiler? I need to paint the one on the GTP. It was originally the metallic blue color, and the paint on it now is a darker red than the rest of the car. It's orange peeled terribly and is chipping off in places. I'd also like to paint some of the body cladding as well, it's all in pretty bad shape. I like your sanding results, that is exactly what both cars need right now.

It got damn dirty real fast!! I think the powerball would work really nice, but I question how durable it is, and $30 is a bit pricey... Ive used it many times so far. It still looks brand new after cleaning it with water. Believe me $30 isnt bad at all considering out well everything turns out. Trust me. Get it for yourself and youll be inpresses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what the equivalent of what you used would be in the USA, or is that only sold in good old Canadia? The paint sealant didn't make it shiney... the 3M products, sanding block and the buffer did you could use any wax to finish it, and it would look the same...

It's orange peeled terribly and is chipping off in places. I'd also like to paint some of the body cladding as well, it's all in pretty bad shape. I like your sanding results, that is exactly what both cars need right now. Duplicolor Colormatch in spray cans. I used 2 cans for my spoiler. Then 3 coats of clearcoat. It was orange-peeled to hell, but after wetsanding it looks like the rest of the car Heres pics of when I did it last year http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v257/dsjune/95%20GP/spoiler%20painted/ fucking A !!!

buckethead Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Very nice work... that paint looks more like glass than your windows do! I'm thinking about doing that to my charger... the paints awesome because it's new, but it has the factory orange peel on it. Kinda bugs me after i get it washed and I want it to be perfect.
