Hey guys, had a REALLY beat up hood to work on today. Well, it wasn't just the hood...but the hood was fun to do cause it was so bad, ha. This was on a Nissan Maxima with about 150k miles. The hood was badly oxidized, and the paint was pretty unstable in spots. I don't have a paint gauge...but I could tell I was dealing with some REALLY thin clear here.
Regardless...the results were really surprising. I used all Malco products. Don't know if you guys are familiar with Malco...but, they are my main distributor. I love their stuff. Check it out!

Test spot came out really well.

Did one half of the hood to get a good 50/50

I was more than happy with the results. There was still some defects in the paint...but, this hood really was unstable. Parts of the hood towards the middle had no clear left practically. But, customer was psyched! :xyxthumbs:
