Black Chevy Silverado...

[Nick Chapman]

Here’s a nice Chevy Silverado we took care of right before my surgery. Nice truck! I’d really like to have one of these, just don’t want the payment ;(

Process was M105 via rotary with a new Lake Country Cyan pad. Then finished off with M205 via DA with a Meguiar’s yellow polishing pad. Then topped with Wet Diamond. Came out pretty good, well I think so anyways

Thank you sir

Recovery is going slow! Lots of pain and lots of pills Hopfully it'll be worth it in the long run, guess we'll see.

Yeah that's the thing with work done on the back.....slow recovery time!

I hope it is speedy for you and the end result is alot less pain, better quality of life, and sweet details like this one!

Re: Black Chevy Silverado...

Absolutely sensational result, as usual!

The reflection shots bring to mind that black Colorado you posted up some time ago... the one that drove you nuts trying to get 205 to finish. IIRC, after trying everything else on the planet you went outside the box and ended up using LC yellow with 205 to produce a stunning result on super-soft paint. Izzat the same Colorado you bought?

I'm wrestling with Harley-Davidson Vivid Black that's soft enough to produce a mark when you walk by it and exhale wrong. Can't get 205 to finish without micro-marring... probably my next step is to try the yellow. Just wondering if you recall what kind of pressures you used to finish with such a stout pad? KBM?

Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery. Hopefully it's like the construction signs say:

"Temporary Inconvenience, Permanent Improvement".

Those must have been the same eyes Nick used to determine the end result was "pretty good." Who wants their vehicle to double as a mirror, anyways? Geez.

I detailed a Harley with black paint and experienced the same thing. It was hands down the softest paint I had ever worked with. You could literally scratch it by wiping just barely too hard with a quality microfiber.

I finished mine up with 3M Ultrafina and the most gentle wiping motion I could muster. Won't be doing any more Harleys any time soon, though...
