Got started on the "new" Supra hood today

Thats an amazing 50/50 shot!

Thats quite a step down though, going from M105 straight to 85RD. Any pics in direct halogens or LED?

suppose i could...but have you not used a diamond cut pad with 105 on single stage paint before? it leaves the slightest bit of haze, if that. the 85rd removed it effortlessly.

Yeah, I'm not fond of the Megs pads, especially with 105, they clog up way too fast and are more difficult to clean vs LC. Just my opinion. Stunning results though.
 
i can understand that. i just use the pads because they leave minimal reason to use a 3rd step for me most of the time.

sure.

Basically, I just claybarred the entire hood and re-washed it (prior to taking these pics of course). Then I taped off 2 sections and hit it with m105 and a yellow diamond cut megs pad for 2 passes and the overspray and defects came right out for the most part, but i had to wet-sand and fill in the deep scratches with touch-up paint and then wet sand again. The hood still has some dents in it that I will have my body guy take care of eventually, since I'm a perfectionist on this car and I want everything perfect. I followed up the m105/megs pad with a black ccs pad with some 85rd menzerna. Gave it a nice deep gloss I was looking for. no sealant yet obviously, as I haven't finished the hood yet, but I'm going with some blackfire wet diamond sealant

What grit sandpaper did you start off with? Also what grit did you use after you used the touch up paint? I might need to wetsand my back bumper cause of scratches =/
 
Awesome job! The 50/50 shots are perfect.
