Re: Revival of trashed black Honda paint

I viewed this on another forum, still can't get over that many passes with 105 and pfw on a Honda. Results speak for themselves though!! Great work!! You did that car the justice it deserved.

Re: Revival of trashed black Honda paint

My '98 Civic has that same Flamenco Black paint and I would love for it to look that good again. You did an amazing job!

I just ordered samples of 105 and 205 from ADS and can't wait to see what I can do to my paint. My biggest problems are all these tiny "star" chips in my hood -- driving to close to gravel trucks I guess.

Looks AWESOME!!! Good work!!

Thanks very much!

This should be in the extreme makeovers! That paint looks amazing. You do phenomenal work and should definitely be proud of that.

What did the owner think?

I wasn't sure where to post it! lol Thank you for the kind words. My friend came by after I was finished with SIP and he could not believe his eyes!

Great work! I used to have the same car, but mine was silver.

Thanks!

Kaval as usual AWESOME job man, your work is top notch. I really think you will like 205, the cut varies on the pressure you apply and with using just the weight of the polisher it will finish LSP ready. I like to do 3 passes with pressure then 2 passes with just the weight of the polisher.

Sal, that's just what I was hoping to hear. Going to definitely try it out!

Thanks! You might also find cracks in the paint from the heat of the header. 90% of the EKs and DC integras I see have this problem including my Dad's car.

Here are a couple of pics to show the cracks in the paint, does it look familiar to you? I am not sure I could tell the difference between rock chips and heat damage.

The Hood




Close up


Most of the damage does look like to is right on top of the header. Any thoughts?

That is definitely the damage that I am referring to. Unfortunately it's below the clear so there's nothing you can do about it except repaint. Even with the heatshield on, this damage occurs.
