Detail: 93' Rx-7

[ReLoaDeD BuLLiTT]

Friend of mine's Rx-7 I'm taking care of for him. It needs some love, but is in great overall shape other than the car's swirled/oxidized paint. I will have fun with this tiny car compared to how much trouble the cobra/supra was. Looking forward to it!

Here's an overall shot of what I'm working with:

Did a test panel on the driver's side rear quarter:

Plenty more before/afters will be uploaded tomorrow! Thanks for looking!

Update:

Got the entire driver's side of the car done earlier today and half the hood.

Here's a few 50/50 shots and an overall of the driver's side:

So far, I've been able to get about 80 percent correction on this paint (some RIDS are too deep to get without wet sanding, and clear coat is too thin to do so).

All correction done with a Flex rotary, a white CCS pad, and some Megs 205 @ 1500rpm for 3 passes per panel.


I'm really pleased with how quickly it's removing the oxidation even with a minimal cut pad such as the white one with such a light polish. This paint is EXTREMELY soft. Each panel blackens the pad so ####### bad that I have to keep washing it every panel, which is pretty much tripling my time required to finish this. Planning on pulling an all nighter to finish the hood, roof, and decklid. Tomorrow will be onto the passenger side of the car, which should only take a few hours.

Great job correcting the paint surface. These RX-7s are awesome. Nice Toyota Supra in the backround. Does it have SSR wheels ?

Great job on the RX-7. I second the notion of the supra in the background.
