That body shop did a really really poor job. Luckly, you are the man and you showed that paint who's boss. Very nice work!

If I was in the area, I'd have you do mine! I'd like to try, but not sure if I have the patience, supplies, time and knowledge to clean it up.

You are inspiring me to get off my *** and put in some work. Black is a tough color.

Amazing correction, I can't believe a wool pad job came out like that. Did you foam pad polish with a DA after wool pad compounding with a rotary?

I thought you could only take readings on metal panels with your reading taking doo dad. How did you get a reading on a vette? Where would one find said doo dad and what do they go for?

I'm 100% sure he did not finish it with a wool pad. He probably did another 2 steps to get it like that.

They make really expensive paint gauges will read plastic/smc/fiberglass.
