bryan_m Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) ok guys, and hour n 30 mins later it has been sanded!! i have never used one before, but i tried this polishing kit out. ive have had it for a long time and thought id give it shot....it starts at 2400 grit, and ends at 12000 grit! so i started with regular sand paper..........1000 grit, and moved my way up...1200, 1500, 2000. then i started with this polishing kit, and i gotta say the results are amazing! heres a couple shots of the body, and it has NOT been buffed with any compound yet, im going to do that now. now its on to rubbin it out with some compound, it shouldnt take to much, this thing is so smooth! wish me luck! stay tuned for more cheers bryan Edited July 16, 2012 by bryan_m
bryan_m Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 heres a preview, i got the driver side buffed out, it looks really nice and smooth, i have to hit it with one more compound, and then wax it. im hoping to buff it all tonight, and mask it off so i can shoot the vinyl roof...... more to come bryan
bryan_m Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 ok, guys it is buffed finally! ill post a couple pics in a few minutes, stay tuned cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 oh, i forgot. i got the wheels stripped again.......after what the ended up lookin like before i had to! more to come! bryan
bryan_m Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 a few final pics after the buffin was complete......... heres a link to all of the charger pics....... http://s1057.photobucket.com/albums/t390/modelguy1613/69%20Dodge%20Charger/ thanks for lookin guys, lemme know what ya think. bryan
gautreau Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Looks great Bryan.Color combo works really great together.
bryan_m Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 thanks jeremy! i tried to get some extra lighting on it when i shot those pics, but it didnt quite work, ill take some outside pics tomorrow.....this is probably the best paintjob i have done in a long time... thanks again! bryan
gautreau Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 What are you doing with the rims? BTW,I updated my thread on my truck as well.
cobraman Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Bryan that is looking sooooooo good. That will be a killer ride for sure when done.
Dr. Cranky Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 SHINY, SHINY, SHINY, SHINY, SHINY :) Your heart, Jim, your heart!
crazyjim Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 My heart is OK, Doc. Just excited. And when were in Corps, Michael?
bryan_m Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) thanks everyone, sorry i didnt get those outside pics today........... thanks again guys, be back soon B Edited July 18, 2012 by bryan_m
bryan_m Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 as promised, some outside pics of the charger body.......this has got ot be the best paint work i have done in years! looks good out in the sun! lemme know what you think guys...... bryan
bryan_m Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 thanks Martin! i found these in my stash, ive had them for a long time, and i think its about high time they went on a build! what do you think guys? using these will mean alot of frame modification, but i think it would be worth it! opinions are welcomed, as always... heres the set of pegasus wheels...........i forget what they are called... and heres a couple shots of them under the car! im really diggin the way they look....... lend me your opinions guys, would they look cool or what? the only drawback is the frame modification, and this is as low as it would possibly go. i mean its still really low, but not draggin the ground! thanks for lookin cheers bryan
