Sever paint restoration of an Evo
Sever paint restoration of an Evo When I was contacted by the owner of this car, I knew it was gonna need some work. However when I saw the state it was in, I realized it was gonna need a lot more. After discussing options for reviving the paint on this Evo, the customer decided to only do the exterior, even though the inside needed attention and you could barely see through the windows... So I got to work...
Here's what I arrived to...
You can see the clear has completely failed on the rear brakes. I guess there is a recall for this but it hasn't been done yet.
Another factory defect here, the clear was completely shot to oblivion on the carbon fiber spoiler. Spoiler is headed to the paint shop to get redone.
P21S Wheel Gel dwelling on the severely neglected wheels
Pre washing soak with the foam gun
A couple of 50/50 shots
*time lapse*
MUCH MUCH later.... this is the result
The restored wheels with the finish now sealed for protection
Hope you enjoyed!

Right on the money. Thanks!
Single stage paint....I'm 100% they were red. These single stage paints, when left neglected, can turn verrrry hazy over time. But fortunately, most of the time the gloss can be brought back with something just as simple as a coat of wax. Here, much more was done, but I love the before and afters of red single stage paint, they are night and day difference!
You never cease to amaze me. That car looked like hell and now it looks new. Would you mind if I sent you some shots of problem areas on my car and give me some recommendations on as what to do about it? I'd like to help my baby out
