It looks a really difficult car to do!

StevenWilliams · 21st April 2009, 17:32

Thats a cracking job. I'm tempted to come your way after I get the new bumper coloured and put onto the car. I have a few swirls but nothing major. I think it will come up a treat.

wish everyone drove a 75/zt. no door trim to worry about.

A bit scary not not having any clear coat on the resprayed panel.

Nice Job

Nice job there Dean. Any tips for an amateur with a nice cheap Silverline polisher?

Excellent correction work. And people think this paintwork correction is easy!

Hi deano78

Have you ever tried "wetpaint" ?? there is loads of info about it on the USA Honda forums, I bought 6 packs about a year ago (cost about £100 altogether) and it is brill.

I showed it to my local garage and they bought 5 of the 6 packs off me!

Here is a link to a thread about "wetpaint" on their website. It's well worth reading.. :lol:

the kerosene content has me a little worried. it would probably strip any protection layed down. and from what i can see about it its waterless a bit like optimum no rinse? no a product i can get into i'm afraid as the possibilites of paint damage from waterless washes are too high. is it filler heavy as well?

Put it on the same shelf as the oil additives and engine power resistors.

Nice if you are lazy and want a swirly car.

My advice would be to avoid.
