FULL CAR DETAIL! - Ram Air, PorterCable,Blackbird Stripes, the works..... I finally had the opportunity this weekend to get out all of my cleaning / buffing / polishing supplies and give the car a nice smooth paint cleaning. This is my first time using the Porter Cable with the ENTIRE car, and WOW then paint feels like its fresh from the factory. Definitely a great investment. Thanks to all the a @ Tropi-Care.
Since I did all of the work on the hood myself, the paint process was a fun experience, and it didn’t come out perfect, but the imperfections are so minor that you wouldn’t really even know. I’m still pretty proud of the results. Used most of the products that you see, and you just need to make sure you know what you are doing with the DAPC.
Process took about 3 Hours to complete, and wasn’t too bad, lots of muscle into the car
I am pretty much done with the appearance of car. Not much more I want to do to the outside of this guy. Most of my accents are charcoal metallic, or a gunmetal metallic which Is a nice subtle mod. Checkout most of the pictures, and let me know what you think. All comments and questions welcome!
