Victor Laury Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share #3 Posted October 1, 2003 It's a comb set of the DeWalt polishing machine, a velcro backing disc, a wool bonnet, 2 foam bonnets and the "system 1 polish". Basicaly, the polish uses the different cutting action carectaristics of the bonnets for the buff and polish. The wool is more aggresive, so it's the first step to cut down the scratches. Then the foam is more gentle and used for the polish stage. I could have done a better job, as I was too freaked about cutting too far. But carefull is better than cutting down to primer anyday!

2ManyZs Posted October 1, 2003 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2003 Bet you didn't realize how much the paint had faded till you took off the marker light did ya Victor?

OY! you should see when I took off the bumpers! OY VEY GAVAULT! what a mess! That's why I get a kick when someone describes my car as "Clean". Heaven forbid they should look closer! If I go fast enough, the car looks perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyZs Posted October 1, 2003 Share #6 Posted October 1, 2003 Hmm, your car had a PO just like mine did then..... didn't take of the bumpers, or any of the trim when changing the color.. at least yours is close to the same color.. mine went from silver to, well, I'm not sure what color it really is but it ain't silver....:cross-eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1975yellowBSPZ Posted October 3, 2003 Share #9 Posted October 3, 2003 At least your PO didn't shut the gas door in the middle of the painting process and get a couple of big drips in the paint! "And his suble use of overspray was an artistic marvel..." But its all the same color, good enough for me. Bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav240z Posted October 4, 2003 Share #10 Posted October 4, 2003 Originally posted by 1975yellowBSPZ "And his suble use of overspray was an artistic marvel..." I nearly hit the floor with that one . What is it with Silver Z's? Mine was once silver now red. It just seems everyone goes from Silver to something else. I really like my friends Silver 240z he did the rear light panel in chrome looks interesting indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all coming off to be replaced by black.Gav, could you snap a few photos of the chrome rear for me. I want to see shat it looks like as i'm thinking of doing it to mine.Black and Chrome is my colour scheme for this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav240z Posted October 4, 2003 Share #12 Posted October 4, 2003 next time i see him i'll try make sure i do u have to see it up close it's a bit strange but I think you'd get used to it. Darius' 240z has a silver back light panel and black paint and i think it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
