no moar miata. i just lurk & stuff now.
nice work Junkman! Would love to see it in person.NEW 9-111 213.jpgNEW 9-111 224.jpg I'm watching the vids tonite! I also agree on the PC. I love the Flex a lot more, but have to be careful on non-clear coat paint.
I actually had to do my own car for a show a few weeks ago. I messed around and won an award.
...... but this car hauls ass!
too funny. What are the specs on the Vette Junkman? Looks like it has zero miles by how clean it is!?!
It has 133,600 miles on it to date. Completely stock with a few visual modifications. I've replaced so much stuff on the car that it is like new (water pump, AC compressor and accompanying components, radiator, head gaskets, power steering pump and hoses, coolant tank, seat tracks, leather interior and the list goes on). She is definitely no garage queen. I drive her hard and put her up wet. I had a semi throw a retread and take out the front end of the car and had to build her back up from that fiasco.
So as you can see, she's been through hell and back but I keep her rollin'.
Man, that's some garage repair/paint work!!!
My car's paint is horrible. I just ordered a PC and some basic supplies. A friend recommended poorboy's products so I bought this kit http://www.autogeek.net/popoprkit1.html Along with some EX-P.
I also have some klasse AIO, ONR, and some pinnacle souveran that my friend gave.
Cant wait, gonna practice on my toyota camry first before I attempt to take the swirls out of my car.

Poorboys 2.5 followed by 1.0. This is bare, no sealant, glaze, wax or anything on the paint.
On my hood there were some swirls which I still cant feel with my finger nail or hand in a bag, but they werent removed. Should I step up to a more agressive compound/pad to get them out? Or just leave them be for now until my next detail?

That depends on your expertise level. A more aggressive compound may remove the damage, or you may have to resort to a more advanced approach. Here are some videos of me removing one such scratch that a more aggressive compound did not remove. I am by no means advocating that you even remotely think about trying this, just showing you what a more advanced repair consist of.Originally Posted by xjdesertfox
Junkman, you are the king of detail. I will use your wisdom wisely and only for good.
We all start at square one. I too have been where you are. That is why I can relate. Let me know whenever I can help.
Thank you Sensai.
My latest work, unfortunately I forgot to take a before picture. A friend got his hard top repainted by some dude in his garage. Job was horrible, covered in deep sanding marks
I did a 2 step correction, and as you can see, had to be extra careful as the window was lexan.
That turned out nice. I would have removed that window though just to avoid the headache.
I was thinking about it, but noticed one of the holes was already developing a crack.
