Thread is called MMM meets Electron Blue Metallic. Good luck man keep us posted.

Verdad Gallardo Wetsanding is done!! After 55 hours of wetsanding, here is what she looks like right now.

Give yourself a pat on the back dude. Good job!!
Although I can't believe we're already finding 98's sitting in fields. lol
I guess they had to run out of 69's eventually.

I don't mind helping out, but peeling is pretty simple... Is the clear coat peeling off, like the way an onion flakes? If you have gray patches, that is also clear coat failure and can't be saved. Faded is one thing and can be saved, Failure can't.
