Very nice, which school of 'polishing' are you from? The Scale Auto 3200-12000 and polish, or the AF 3200-4000 and polish? Keep up the good work

Wow that is cool!
Didn't know you could get a shine like that from telefonica blue.

Just painted my chevelle in that color and it not as shiny as that. Great job on the shine. I thought you don't really get that kind of shine on mettalic colors unless you clear.

I used to use micro mesh, but that kits out of production, though you can still get the sheets seperatley from here:

.https://www.micro-surface.com/

I've got a good technique now so I don't actually use the kit anymore. I may try it again though, who knows my finishes might get a little better.


WAIT A MINUTE, I TAKE THAT BACK, IT'S STILL IN PRODUCTION, NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT PAGE, FROM 1500 THRU 12000 (equivelent to about 400 to 3000grit) FOR ONLY $9.95! I THINK I MIGHT PICK ONE UP!

very shine....well done job.

Synergy....he's XJ220 is more shine than yours. (p.s. remember to sand away all the mold lines before spraying your body. Because real car don't come with molded lines.) my 2cents
