Client has had the car for about a month. I had not seen it and was called to do the exterior based on his description over the phone.
Condition: most was fairly decent, but the bad areas were BAD! Roof heavily etched and scratched, bad paint job showing thick orange peel on lowers, and a hood that was previously hacked to an inch of it's life -only reading ~66 microns on average w/ the ptg!
Process:
Before:
Roof etchings & scratches:
Hacked hood -picture doesn't even show it close to how it actually was
Almost done prepping and ready for buff
Now the afters!
Much improved roof:
All I could mange with the hood. There just wasn't any paint there and he realizes that eventually he needs to re-spray it.
Thanks for looking :xyxthumbs:

- Tape.
