Here we have a 2002 Maserati 4200 Spyder that needed some TLC. No pictures of wash stages as it was raining heavily so just cracked on with the job at hand at the time but here are some pics of some of the work carried out. Engine given a good degrease with Autosmart G101 Before Then dressed with Aerospace protectant Wheels were badly kerbed so these were given a full refurb Fully refurbished and sealed with Nanolex Premuim Alloy Sealant Wheel bolts also needed tidying up These were sand blasted then given a coat of etch primer and then painted silver Whilst wheels were off arches were given a good clean using Bilt hamber Surfex HD Before (front) After Before (rear) After Wheel hubs were a bit rusty and lacked paint so these were painted gloss black Before After Fabric roof was redyed and then waterproofed using Renovo Correction was carried out using Menz 203s and a LC Polishing Pad or Light Cutting pad with a few deeper scratches requiring Menz 3.02 and a 4in cutting pad 50/50 under some metal halide lights another 50/50 on a different panel under natural light Few "before & after" pics Before After before after before after before after before after before after Badge removed before after There was a few deeper scratches that I later went back and fully removed Lower sills and bumpers were corrected with Menz 3.02 and a 4in LC Light Cutting pad before after before after before after before after At this point Adam came out to remove a few dings and dents Whilst Adam attended to the dings i started on the exhausts before after Once all paint correction was complete paint was refined SV Cleaner Fluid was applied/removed by hand and then a the 1st coat of SV Divine was applied and left to cure whilst some of the smaller details were taken care of such as the sealing the exhausts, dressing tyres and cleaning the front grill. A 2nd coat of Divine was applied the following day. before after before after The interior seen some work also removing the plastic missed in the PDI when the car was first sold 8 years ago Leather given a good clean - was very shiny I noticed a scuff on the drivers seat and luckily I had some burgundy colour dye left over from a job that i done on a Mercedes so this was used to colour wash the area and add some colour. before Not 100% but looking much better Storage area for the roof was given a good vacuum, wiped down and seals treated with SV Seal Feed Few finished shots Thanks for looking
Paul Dalton ain't got shit on you Jay. Outstanding job as always. You never leave a stone unturned :applause:
Superb work, Jay! I've got a 4200 customer also, and we did a wheel refurb for him as well. Did you notice any paint chipping when you tightened the lug nuts after being painted? - Jesse
One noob question do the wheel wells stay that clean after driving for a few days? Great work on the metallic black. Thanks for sharing. Mike
Another terrific turnaround, well done :thumb: How many hours went into this one Jay (if you don't mind me asking)?
Fantastic work! You should be getting the recognition that some of your countrymen are getting, since you do much more complete work. How is the roof fabric dye to use? Is it easy to make a mess, and how easy is cleanup? Would you have to use their protectant afterwards?
