Default My 97 Firebird w/Zaino

These are some old pictures of my 1997 Firebird with 51 coats of Zaino. Reflections, buildings and a blue sky and clouds on a black car.











Follow this link to my other f-bodies which also have Zaino on them but not 51 coats....lol

Looks great, but 51 coats is a waste, I promise.

BlueBird346.
It took over a year to apply all the 51 coats (no typo) so there is no distortion with image relections and be entered in judged car show events.

ImOnMyWhey,
As for 51 coats being a waste I feel the results prove otherwise but you have a right to your opinion

I know, the pictures were taken with a old 35MM Canon then scanned into my pc with a old scanner. I didn't have a digital camera at the time.

Follow the link in one of my responses to my other cars. I took the pictures of my 2000 WS6 and my wife's Blue 1998 Formula with a digital camera

If you washed the car bewteen the coats then yeah, its fine. but 51 straight coats, like one after another is going to make your paint look WORSE than better

There is a thing as OVER WAXING.
