    It's black, it's neglected...

    It's the biggest PITA in the world! I was tasked by a neighbor with a mini restoration on the beat up 94 Mustang GT. Some clean failure on the hood, repaint needed on both bumpers. All of the other painted surfaces were perfect for full (or close) correction. Started with sanding, 1500 up to 3000. V36 then V38 on HexLogic pads on a Rupes 21.





    This paint was down right rough.



    I definitely had my work cut out for me. Think it could be saved???



    Sanded, leveled, polished. Pre LSP.



    The best 50/50 I have.

    Everyone is my teacher. Some I seek. Some I subconsciously attract. Often I learn simply by observing others. Some may be completely unaware that I'm learning from them, yet I bow deeply in gratitude.

        That inspires me to take my DA to my mothers midnight blue Chevy Trailblazer, just to see how much of a difference I can make on a panel

          Thanks! I learned on junk yard cars - got me wet sanding very early in my career. I have a good total of about 100 hours in the paint work alone. Interior will get a full teardown and clean, so probably another 20 hours.

              @Austin. I didn't let the spur of the moment inspiration go to waste.. I'll post a thread because it went alot further than 1 panel.

              Thanks 4 the inspiration/good luck, or whatever good vibes you passed along.. Because I had some awesome results!
