looking great! cant wait to see the finished product!

 

@Gaving and S2katTracks, Did I say that im putting that in the s2k?


Knella15 and Snowmants, thanks guys. here is a little more update.

Taped up the edges of the door panels etc to avoid burning/sanding through the paint when wetsdanding and buffing it.





Then I started with 1500 grit, and so far I have done the front bumper,driver side door, rear quarter panel, rear bumper, and rear lip spoiler.


This side is fully untouched.


I am taking it easy with the 1500 grit becasue I do not want to take too much off, but even if I do the bodyshop told me to bring it back for shooting a few more coats of clear on it. And there are quite a few very high spots that I want to get rid of without taking too much paint off, so wish me luck

Will hopefully be doing the 3000 and 4000grit wetsanding today, and buffing it out tomorrow if no problems occur while I work on it.

 

you are so anal (good thing) about your car yet you use arco for gas??? Anyways gl with the rest of your build

 

Dude, I will be very honest with you. I have been in U.S for 2 years and it's the first time I heard that arco was not good. That is after i posted this pic on facebook, and all my friends started flaming me . I WILL NOT USE IT AGAIN , I apologize guys. Didn't really know about that.

 

Went to go get alignment today, that didn't happen so headed to a local dyno day/meet going on locally, organized by Dardan.

Got 3 pulls, and here is the best one


I was impressed by what it put down eventhough I haven't changed anything for maintainance, everything is as when I got the car. Can't wait to see what it puts down, after I maintain it and also get a tune by Dardan.

 

Those sanding discs look great. How did you like them? A nice even matte finish? Any problems with pig tails from the DA?

 

Loved the DA discs, I only did the 1500 so far then got into some work. So car is still looking ugly

Pig tails, yeah some parts but went on them again, and got rid of them. Matte finish? Not so far, since it had a lot of orange peel. I'm debating on whether to make it matte finish with 1500 overall, or try taking 60-70% of the orange peels now, then a bit more with 3000grit and 4000 grit. that would be safer.

Secondly, stopped by the body shop the other day, he loved how I wetsanded it. So he offered to shoot a few more coats of clear if I ever feel like its getting too thin. So that is an option too

 

cars looking good ali!

 

I approve of this ... Great job and decision for saving an S from misery.

 

Thanks guys, been way too busy these past few days t finish off the job. And will be very busy this week too.
Now idk if I should wetsand it then reclear it to have more clear on it. Then start wetsanding and buffing it? or shall I just buff it out ? Suggestions? ?? ??

@Diego, can't to see how the Evos doing tomorrow man
