Another black Fbody saved ;)


This one came to me from another forum member. In pretty rough shape with heavy swirls and RIDS o' plenty. Two days working on it brought about a good transformation. Weather wasn't cooperating when it was picked up, had rained just a couple hours before, so no sun shots unfortunately.

It was dropped off for the same job and at the same time as this one I did recently: Extensive correction on black Camaro


Process was M105 PCXP on LC orange, then SIP on LC white, IPA wipedowns and LSP Blackfire Wet Diamond.

Wheels cleaned up. Insides were severely stained and needed to be removed to be fully restored, but still cleaned up pretty well.

Looks pretty good here right? Lighting makes all the difference....

Now, lets leave the camera in the same spot and just change the lighting.... What do we have here? A LOT of work to do!

This spot was putting up a fight, so I brought out the LC Cyan pad to help out

Wow, awesome work!!! I have an F-Body fan and love to see one brought back to life!
 
Excellent save. Great pictures. Especially like the shot showing the different lighting. :dblthumb2:

I had a Black F-Body that looked like that one time (crapped out paint, that is). '94 Camaro. I still miss that car.

Excellent Paint Correction and Restoration work!
Excellent before and after pictures
Very nice write-up.

Can't say thank you enough for stopping your project, taking pictures and then later going though the pictures, picking out the best ones, uploading them, then inserting them and then creating this thread to showcase your talent but to also help others and inspire others...

Thank you!

Did you do all the work with your Porter Cable?
