1978 GMC Sierra Classic- Mike Phillips #07 Method

[dsharpe89]

I had the privilege to help out one of my friends in rejuvenating the paint on his 1978 Sierra Classic.

I chose to try out the Mike Phillips #07 method on this single stage metallic paint and I think the results speak for themselves!

Love seeing this with older vehicles, wonder how that tractor would look.:buffing:

Single Stages are the best. Good save.

Never would of thought that was possible. Great job. Restoring red really grabs your attention.

Ill download the pics off my camera this week, these were just the ones I had on my phone. The rest are'nt the greatest because the longbox takes up my whole garage but ill post what I have.

Here are a couple before pics, it was snowing out so had to get what I could inside the garage





Left side of this picture is after 3 applications of #07 and right side is after first machine polish with M80

This picture the door has been machine polished with M80 and the box has been final polished with chemical guys V38

Here is dirty pad after just 2 section passes and then how nice and clean the grit guard pad washer can get extremely dirty pads in around 15-20 seconds, huge time saver!

And here are a couple more of the finished pictures, after polish i applied CG glossworkz glaze and jetseal 109 to protect the finish. You can really see the difference the metallic makes under the garage light compared to outside since there was no sun the day i took the pictures.
