Got another write up, this time for a '89 328. Just switched owners, and the last owner kept the interior in absolutely perfect condition, although the paint was in pretty poor shape. Went with a two stage correction and exterior and interior detail. Before First I started with the interior, pulled all mats and carpets and hit them with 409 and a Griots with brush. Now on to the seats, taped up to get a 50/50, they were pretty clean. 50/50, not a big difference Next took out the whiter gate and knob to polish and clean up, and clean under it. Went on to clean center console Looking good 50/50 on doors, again not much difference. Conditioned with Zymol Leather Carpets hit with 409 and Griots and brushes. Backs of seats done End of day one with a good 50/50 of the booklet. Beginning of day two looked like this: wheels were taken off for cleaning. Taken outside for a wash Now onto paint. Went with a two step Menzerna FG400 with Power Gloss. On a 6inch Griots with Uber yellow and orange pads. Before Started in the back after being taped off, After first couple passes it was looking good. FG400 cutting ability is great! Getting some 50/50 Then this happened: Went everywhere. Day 3 Continued working, hood and fender 50/50 Pulled out turn it around, looking good Back in she goes Another 6-7 hours and she was done. Gave her a good coat of Adams Buttery Wax. Final results. Overall I had about 15 hours in it.
Great job. Always love working on the older ones. Did you have any paint transfer on this one or was the car factory cleared. Around those years is when they stopped using single stage paint.....I've made a few red pads doing older Ferraris
Thanks for the kind words, and as far as paint goes, it was cleared. I thought at first it was a single stage, as like you said, most where from this time period. Turns out it wasn't, lucky me!
Looks like you did a great job. Scared me seeing those wheels face down on the concrete though. Guessing the tires stuck out a bit more than the wheels.
Yeah they do! Made sure of that. Getting one of these wheels redone wouldn't be cheap! Thanks for the kind words.
