  • 1994 Formula Firebird Re-Hatched








    another hammered/oxidized black car....what did I sign myself up for? laugh.gif:

    Rear bumper was brought back to life:



    What was once bird etchings and sap from years ago:



    is now gone:




    50/50 shot of the roof. (hard to tell the difference in this picture due to lighting)




    So here's a close-up:



    Some NASTY deep scratches were found on the hood, so I wet sanded them.




    Also wet sanded 3-year old sap left on the hood:



    After about 2 hours of polishing/sanding we have a 50/50 shot:



    And another



    (obviously the left side untouched)

      So when do we get to see overall pics! Thats what I want to see.

      Looks great. The 50/50 shots really show a huge difference.

        I have the front bumper and other half of the hood to finish tonight, then tomorrow during the day, I'm going to pull it out for a nice wash, ipa wipedown and a couple coats of wax. I'll be sure to post up some overall shots when it's all finished tomorrow

                  Great work! What grit paper did you use?

                    very impressive

                    Does the bird have single stage paint? Looks like your wool pad has some black residue on it

                      Yes it did! Stuff's tough on pads, but the turnaround makes it all worth it!

                        that was a heavy oxidized car...
                        the results came out great, can't wait for the final pictures after waxing :]

                            All I could snap today. It's completely finished. When the owner picks it up and I do a final wipedown/trim/window treatment, I will snap some "full shots" outside of the car completely finished.
