Tell me about it. I spent 11 hours on the paint alone. It took 4 passes with Super Intensive Polish with a foamed purple wool pad on the hood/roof/trunk and 3 passes on the vertical panels. I followed up with SIP on an orange pad for one pass to clean up the slight haze left behind, then Duragloss #105 as the final sealant.

This is of my roller that I sold. I don't have a good pic of the before, but if you will look on the fender and the door, you will notice alot of scratches. The after is a pic of the door. I think it came out pretty good considering it's a 14yr paint job!

Before....


After.....

That's the most reflective 3rd gen I've ever seen. Looks like it has 100 miles on it.


And btw, I'm loving this thread. Any more before/after pics?

They all look great!!!

That 3rd gen... Is that stock paint?

Unstang.. nice work! Cant even tell its green in the first pic!

99z28monster.... that pic looks good man, I dont think youre doing anything wrong. Looks like a great detail job on top of factory GM paint, aka orangepeel. lol Not much you can do about it... unless you wetsand or repaint.
