One more... *need to learn mult images...*
After
I used 600 grit Akrya paint leveler and a wool pad on my PC set about 6. I did the decklid about 3 times. The scratches are still there but alot harder to see. On the rest of the car I used FI-II FC compound on the driverside then Meg. DCPC, 3M Machine Polish, #7 and Bahama Mama Wax. On the passenger side I used Mess. DCPC, #7, and Bahama Mama. Then I washed and dried it using a leaf blower to remove all the extra yard crap.
The drivers side had been repainted. Repainted as in with a brush! So it looked kinda crappy, hence the extra effort. Took about 12 hours and I haven`t touched the interior.
More fun tomorrow. I wish this one would pay better...
Nice work. I can`t wait for the rest of the pics.
How much did the #7 hide the scratches after all the compound and polish?

Misterzippo,
Great work!
You`ve come a long way in a very short period of time.

I don`t know that the #7 did that much to hide them. The scratches were pretty deep but I used a 600 grit paint leveler and made several passes over the decklid. I think the decklid took me almost 2 hours alone. I was under the impression had no silicone or similar in it since it was paintable, is #7 a filler?
Thanks.
I thought #7 was similar to IHG. I could be wrong.
2 hours for the trunk lid alone, WOW!!!

Did I understand that this car was painted with a BRUSH on the side? You have to be kidding me!

I think he ment it looks like it was painted with a brush on the side.
No, it doesn`t look like it was painted with a brush...
It WAS painted over with a brush. Touch up paint and about half the drivers side was BRUSHED on! It still looks good though :-)
I wish but since it was my father I was helping him out. I also told him before hand *stupidly* my price but he didn`t realize the extent of the damage when he said It`s got a few scratches...
