What's up guys,
I thought I'd share a few pics of my integra after I did a paint correction on it. I call it a mini correction because the clear coat is peeling off the hood, roof, and hatch. I'm really interested in doing this part time, so I'm trying to put myself out there to show what I can do.

Here's a few pics:

Before



After





 
Nice! Is that an LS or GS-R?

Did you seal it after correcting?

It's just an LS, and the only thing I did after compound and polish was a coat of Meguiars Synthetic Sealant.

Thanks for the kind words!
 
Thanks guys for the compliments, I'm eager to see what I can do with a car that has decent paint on it lol.
 
Honestly, I was wondering why the shots of the structure, then the light went on. Nice job.
 
Looks great! That's the kinda car to practice on. Mine was a 2003 Accord with clearcoat failure on 2/3 of the hood.

What products/pads did you use for compounding/polishing? What machine?
 
You cant even tell in your after pictures if all the swirls are gone or not...


Thats like my #1 pet peeve. Posting after shots like this. Sorry for the rant here but pictures like that show almost nothing, i can take a picture like that of my dads van and it will look swirl free. Take a shot like the first before picture of the paint to REALLY show what work you've done.

End of rant...LoL
