His car, his time. If that's what he wants to do who's to say he's wrong? There's no doubt he's done a truly masterful job on the car, regardless whether one thinks it is total overkill or not. For a daily driven vehicle, perhaps it is overkill. For a car like the Astra VXR that should really be driven hard and enjoyed, I personally think it is overkill but that's just my personal opinion. I know from first hand experience how abusive a track day is on paint!

As for the 50+ coats of Zaino; again, if that's what he wants to do then so be it. My only real question regards his reason for doing so. He states "I have made a decision based on protection for the car due to Vauxhall paintwork being easily stone chipped that i was going to apply quite a few layers of this" and I have serious doubts that even that many layers of a product poured out of a bottle, wiped on, allowed to dry and then wiped off is going to deflect a stone at 80mph.

Overall, the man definitely has skills and we should simply appreciate that. Most of us here at MOL aspire to achieve the finest finish we can. I think there are bits and pieces of his write up we can all take something positive from.

I concur! I'm still not all the way through his post either, but the machine work in the engine bay is sick!

My whole reason behind the post was because I happened to stumble onto his thread while on another forum, where people where asking how many coats/layers of Zaino they had. Now I agree to each his own, but maybe someone should tell them about the "law of diminishing returns"

I like the man's dealer. There's an OPEL GT hiding back there. Nice to see the Vauxhall dealer respecting the Opel heritage.

He put a lot of work into the vehicle. I honestly do not think the stereo system build is all that impressive. Nice equipment, strange construction. I think he should have routed a lot of those edges rather than use a file to round them over. Other than that, nice work though.

He said at the end he didn't notice improvement from layer 7 or 8, why continue to 51?!?!?!
That was one nice project! I would say that!

I was surprised he saw a difference after 2 coats...especially on white.

Wonder if his PTG measured a build up of Z2?

I've been through this on DW......Marc is the guy who, where half a dozen pics will do, he has to post 300 pictures in one post......and by the way that's not a joke.......I personally don't open Marcs' posts these days cause they take so long to load up.

You can't take it away from him though he knows his stuff it's just a pity he knows that aswell and likes to tell eveyone so LOL!!

I will say it looks good. But to each his own. 51 coats of Zaino then 3 of the swisswax. Unbelievable.

It probably read ERROR!

If the purpose is to deflect stones and debris, a nose mask or clear bra is far better and cheaper.
A good marketing tool for Zaino Bros.
