Thanks, just cleaned the motor today. I might sell it because I really want another 3rd gen trans am. I love your trans am. A white or black GTA would be perfect for me.

So you're a Busch man. I see the emties in the back ground.

Car looks good. I hear you on showing the Before/After shots with white. I think that's why so many people neglect white so much. Most people never really see how badly their paint looks, unless you really look at it

Thank you! Yes there may be a few Busch Light cans scattered through the garage.

I've been known to hide a can or two throughout the garage from time to time.

You do some outstanding work. What do you charge for something like that?

Thanks man. It depends on how bad the car is and how nice you want it to be. Also depends on how hard the paint is and how easy/difficult it is to correct.

I think I had around 35 hours in this car. This paint is very hard which IMO required the wet sanding step. Wet sanding is always a last resort.

I was able to take out the 3000 grit sanding marks with no problem. It would have taken much longer if not damn near impossible to get all the defects out using only a MF pad/M105.
