Afternoon.

Completed this job last week. The solid black paint was looking a bit sorry for itself when viewed in direct light.
Pretty tough car to get right this one (as was apparent from the poor detailing job previously). Lots of tiny little bits to polish and lots of taping up and having to work with a very fine polish and soft pad to get the paint to finish down without the usual 'bodyshop esq' buffer trails everywhere
Before polishing showing where it had previously been taped up
Hopefully you can tell which panel has been polished in these photos
And all polished...
Some random fine but deeper lines remained but the clarity of the flat black was brought back.
Paint was then given 2 coats of Blackfire paint sealant along with other finishing touches such as wheels sealant, metal sealant on the exhaust tips, interior cleaned etc
and the final photos after about 18 hours work over 2 days...
thanks for looking.
