Done some work on the dash on Friday, spoke to GD as the wiring loom came with no diagram or ID tags, Email to follow, but it didn't land so I took another look at the Gel coat as I mentioned before. It buffed up well but having done quite a few spray jobs over the years I reckoned I could get it even better to match a pro spray job,
So out come the DA sander and the 1500 discs, It's hard to see in the pics but if you look you can see after a light sand when the shine is off the surface in places has the appearance of an orange skin. I sanded the area until it was dead flat, One pic shows the finished result :) looks like a mirror infact you cant see the car, just looks like a perfect reflection.
Will take some time to go over the whole car and buff it up but the end result will be worth it.
Looking ahead I need to decide on interior trim and carpets etc so I know what route I am going down , wheel size is another issue that's floating about at the moment.
That's some finish, you must have masochist tendencies. I spent the weekend doing mine and I am about ready to jump of the nearest building, you don't want to pop round and finish it of do you.
ReplyDeletelol it does get a bit painfull, but I'm trying to do a bit then go do something else before going back to it. Each time I think an area is done i see something else. I'm not looking forward to the bonnet, boot and door edges. I think you could easily spend a week or so sanding and buffing to a glassy finish and thats before it gets the final buff at the end of the build. I was thinking of having a buffing party but i dont think many would come :)
