BMW Mike is at it again....

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Some of you may remember the work I performed on my bosses new Explorer.

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/58435-13-explorer-tri-coat-white-metallic-oc2-0-a.html

Anyways this is another new vehicle him and his wife has and they wanted this one coated as they were astonshed from the work on the Explorer.

This 2011 328i is Deep Sea Blue Metallic and has just under 30k miles on it. The paint wasnt in too bad of shape as it sometimes has had a coat of wax on it and taken care of by him or his wife.

This was roughly 13-14 hours over two days to get it done.

Are you sure you didn't just paint that car?

Then sand the paint flat, compound, polish and wax to a show car finish?


Looks great!
