    The Camaro came out excellent but I do want to note that not only did it have a lot of swirls in the paint it also had a lot of RIDS or Random, Isolated Deeper Scratches throughout the finish.

    Here's a few shots from tonight... more on Monday...


    Here's the Flex 3401 with a 4" Purple Foamed Wool Buffing Pad on the new 4" backing plate...

    I think it was posted somewhere here on the forum that the 4" backing plates will be available in January.

    We used the 6.5" and the 4" Purple Foamed Wool Pads for the first step, the major correction step with Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover on Flex 3401s. I think we had 4 set up with 6.5" pads and 1 set-up with a 4" pad for the thinner panels.

    I did the Test Spot on this project and from experience I would say the clear on this 1969 Camaro was on the hard side but the combination of the fiber pad, swirl remover and forced rotation dual action polisher not only worked excellent at removing the swirls but after the first step the paint looked fabulous...

    Here's a couple more pictures, note in the first picture I'm buffing right on top of the orange stripes... that's because Steve had the car painted right the first time and the stripes are under the clear.

    Gorgeous outcome Mike and team! And way to recruit another gorgeous woman to the SG Team. Mike, I would love to know how you keep finding these amazing ladies to model for AG and how I can get a job at PBME so that I can move back to the South and meet them.LOL
    I forgot for a minute that the Camaro was had been restored and was not SS paint anymore. Nice to see it was repainted properly even though not correct for the era. Made life easier on you and the team, I am sure.

    I love working on SS or Single Stage paint but for most people, the way to go for a car like this is a modern basecoat/clearcoat finish, for all kinds of reasons.

    The story behind the paint job is very interesting, Steve sent it to me in an e-mail that I'm going to ask him to post to this thread.

    I've been working on an article how to get a great paint job, basically how to talk to the painter to get what you really want.

    Part of that article will talk about the benefits of getting any graphics sprayed under the clear coat, not on the clear coat.

    This car was painted in 2002 so it's almost 10 years old and I don't know the brand of paint but whatever it is, it really polishes out to a clear, high gloss. It truly looks like the pictures show...
