Boy,I tried zooming in on those pictures Mike 200x's,400x's,800x's and I could NOT see any swirls

Here's some more pictures Nick took with his camera from this thread,

A Sneak Peek at the 1939 Lincoln Zephyr in the Show Car Garage


Even if you look really close, the paint looks really good and these were taken after wiping the paint down but before any machine buffing was performed...

Mmm.... purdy paint....

Looks swirl and scratch-free in the above shots...

Here's a shot of the Zephyr outside in the sun when it first arrived...

Looks good here...

Guess carefully because if you guess incorrectly you won't have a chance to win the Swirl Girl Gun...

 

[silverfox]

Yes. I have yet to see a show car that is totally swirl free.

 

[Jfresh]

No!

 

[Dan Metzler]

Yes

 

[mwtaco]

Part of me wants to say yes because Mike brought this into the Show Car Garage and he has a Swirl Girl, but the other part says no that it's something different.

So my final answer is NO swirls. I'm thinking the paint will be refined for maximum gloss, to possibly take care of some minor defects or some areas where sanding marks remain or possibly buffer haze that resembles a burn, maybe even just holograms.

 

[A.P.A.D.]

yes

Me thinks you play the part of Sherlock Holmes?

We've actually had a few cars in the studio that were swirl free, one is Max's brand new Mercedes-Benz AMG. The paint on his new AMG was pretty much in Show Car Quality Condition as described in my how-to book on page 37-39.

The 2011 Synergy Green Camaro we buffed out fell into Category 2
