dsms detail - Black STi Revisited + correction

I did this car during the winter and the owner brought it back for a maintenance detail.

Paint correction was performed only on part of the hood and the entire trunk section.

Section taped off for spot correction. While in service it looks like paper towel was used to remove a smudge, thankfully I think they got the smudge out :applause:

Before M105 and 106FA



After



Closeup with no extra lighting before

The last time I did this car it had wing, the owner since then bought a wingless trunk and it had never been corrected.

Some of the damage ...

Adhesive residue and etching



Scracthes



Used 3M adhesive remover to try to get rid of the old adhesive, most of which was too baked to come off





Onto correction







Before









Used M105, Powerfinish and 106FA for correction with both rotary and DA machines

A few sunshots after IPA wipes and before LSP





No more wing residue



LSP: Powerlock
Wheels: Rejex

 

good stuff as usual Dave

 

looks great dave. is that a regular halogen you are using or something else. that thing looks bright as hell.

 

Damn I like that car... nice work, buddy .

 

Great work as usual ... wingless FTW!!

 

Awesome finish David!

 

That has to be one of the best you did yet. The paint is SUPERB!!!

If my car wouldn't be white, i'd bring it to you

 

I take the metal cages off all my regular halogens, they rob your brightness!

 

I don't think this is one of his best, he done a lot more better than this!!

 

Awesome work Dave! Brought that asphalt eater back to life.

 

....

What I am working on right now




:shrug:

 

I did see a lot of Dave's work. It might be explained by the fact that I have a thing for subarus

The clarity in that paint is awesome. That black Porsche from Quebec you did a while back was stunning as well.

 

amazing work. one of my favorite cars

 

if you seen this Subaru 1st detail, it was so hammered, I think it was repainted before.

 

Looks great. You did a great job for that customer!

 

another one well done!

 

Another stunning detail Dave, I especially love the inside pictures.:thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

Good work! The flakes are really popping !

 

You are correct. The paint looks okay but the clear has runs and solvent pop in it.

Thanks Thoma:thumb:

 

always enjoy seeing your work,

the flake in those after shots is pretty cool......neat color on that car
