  • Single Stage and Oxidised

    Ok so i guess the pictures dont do the state of this car justice This is the Car before. It is Single Stage early 90's and the horizontal panels are badly oxidised.

    Before:

    Roof was really badly oxidised, worse than the pic shows




    And some taping off



    Here is my brand new DA, difficult to bring the PC into australia but this was my first major attempt with it and was very very impressed.

    Here is my process, taped of test section, clayed, #83, #80, #21 and it came out 10000 times better, not perfect but pretty close.



    I think you will agree



    And Finally the reflections and Sun Shots, neither which do justice to how much better it looked in person.









    Sorry for the quality of some photos and the fact i couldnt have them in the post as megs gallery will not let me upload, thanks anyway for your help mike.

    I am sure the car looks good, even though I am not able to see the pictures. Webshots says the pictures are unavailable, you should upload your pictures to the MOL gallery.

      Hi Eric,

      This is the problem, dom0brien for whatever the reason cannot upload pictures through his account. I logged in as dom0brien and tried to upload his pictures and I received the same errors he receives when trying to upload pictures. We don't have any support right now for our gallery but we're working on bringing up a new gallery.

          Hi Dom,

          I tweaked your account, try to upload one photo and see if you can. If not, e-mail me our photos and I'll upload them into your account for you.

            I am not sure what criticisms you were expecting.. although it looks like you repainted the car a whole different color..

            Looks fantastic...
