Polishing done. Still has the slightest bit of orange peel texture, but I can live with that. Having no clear coat I could not get too carried away. The depth in the reflection is much better and clearer, so im happy with that improvement.

 

And BMF applied. Onto the home stretch now.

Another fabulous creation, Luke!  I'd sign up to watch a WIP from you about polishing paint finishes - especially how you do it right up to trim pieces and tricky curves.  Very well done!

Thanks Brain. Very happy I managed capture the 90's street machine style. Its my favourite era of Aussie Street Machine car culture.

I will have to think about it, to see if I could show and explain the polishing process I use. Next build on the bench I will see if I can piece something together.

Next on the bench, bringing this one back for completion.

Need to get the interior prepared and ready for paint, after thats done the Body needs a full wet sand and polish.

Wet sanding done, wont bore you with that process.

Tricky to get photos of this one. Camera trips out taking pictures of this particular paint job, it wants to over expose which makes the pearl pigments look like a heavy flake

 

I used the God Hand 10mm and 2mm sanding sponges 4000-10000. 10mm is used for overall blocking of the open flat surfaces and 2mm for corners and crevices.

  

 

Also got the interior components prep'd and 1500 Gray Surfacer applied.

If your are observant you will notice I removed the head rest from the Hoddy Design resin seats.
