My car was starting to show the green under the yellow after it was sprayed but only in bright sun light etc, have to say tho yours is looking amazing super fresh did you do inside the doors etc or just outside.

Just the outside bud. Then any overspray internally gets either removed or hand polished in so you can't tell.

That's why you need a white ground coat as the colour really bleeds.

The yellow is very bright and fresh now - I do not think the mirrors look wrong in black now.

Paint looks mint, good job.

Videos are cool too!

Sorry to ask a stupid question but...
When you sand and machine polish a car it cuts the lacquer. Won't that mean the paint it less protected or not protected and will discolour easier.

tbh i may live with the knocking, it looks so good low....

good pics:

Thats why you put enough laquer on to keep it protected, then cut it back

Looks really nice and fresh in them pics Jake.. top job

 

[jake]

oh and the new air fiter made no difference what so ever, so either the carbon air box flows well or the red bmc's dont lol

 

[Phil_JJ]

Certainly a looker!

 

[big eck]

The wheels look black. I thought you were going for anthracite??

 

[jake]

I am I know I'm good, but I'm not super human lol

Wheels get painted next week

Love the look of a fresh painted car.

how do you go about removing the overspray? ive got a car that has some over spray on it and im not sure how to remove it, (claybar and polish or is there a better method?)
