My 93 BMW 325I

Ok. Here's my finished 93 325I, That's all I can do for it because I was working already on the color coat as all the pads came out red, well I'm happy with the results comparing with the conditions when I got it, it was totally neglected for many years, so I guess, from now on it'll be only wash and wax for this guy untill the very needed paint job.

Doesn't look like it needs a paint at all! Nice work.

I've been working on it since I got it like a year ago, the thing is that all the clear is just coming off like crazy the whole trunk area was with no clear at all it looks nice but after paint is going to be just how it was meant to be.

The process was.
1. Wash
2. XMT3 2 Passes some areas
3. Liquid Souveran.

I was going to go one pass with the XMT Finishing glaze but I was already dead At 11:00 Pm so I just left it like that maybe next Time.

Oh And I forgot of course I use The PC I'm still on the try to learn more about rotary to see if I get Myself one.

Thanks for your comments.

Nice job and good pictures showing a very wet looking bimmer. Are you sure that you are missing clear or is the paint single stage? I don't know alot about BMW's but on most (not all) american cars red is a single stage paint. Well anyways good work with the PC and thanks for the pictures. Mike...

Nice work... you may want to dress the grey panels around the car... or get them painted like a lot of e36 guys. To dress, you could try Poorboy's Trim Restorer, or oddly enough, a tire gel!

Thanks for the comments, yes I definitely gonna do smething with the trim but the last time I use tire dressing it came out worst in a couple of days I just wanna paint it same color all around as soon as I can , I don't know if it was single stage but this car is a rebuild and I'm pretty sure it was painted all around, Later I'm going to post some pics where you can see how the clear starts like blistering and then it breaks dry and pell off.
