Recently did this gem. Pretty insane. Never maintained properly, wash with gravel or worse.
Previous owner drove into a barrier of sorts, then proceeded to touch up the car with paint that did not even closely match. I ended up getting rid of most of it, besides where the gouge with most severe and actually left a dent in the door.
But it did turn out quite well. I only have before and after shots of the spots I felt were the worst, the whole car really. But I didn't grab any shots of the whole car, no time.
On with the pics though. First. My test spot on the passenger rear door.
Next up, the huge ass dent in the door, before:
After:
Passenger fender before, notice the paint, LOL:
After:
Fuel door area before:
After, no that's not a scratch, just some weird reflection:
Rear tail light area before:
After:
Rear bumper before:
After:
Driver's door oxidation before:
After:
Passenger rear quarter before:
After, some RIDS left:
Passenger rear door before with lots of "touch up" paint:
After with no paint:
Driver's front fender before:
After:
I really liked working on this car. And I really love the the glow this paint had after I was done due to the awesomeness of Collinite 845.
