Black Blown Beast corrected coated PBL V2

[Justin at Final Inspection]

Had another 5th gen come in for a correction and a coating of PBL V2. This car is well kept and really doesn't get driven much. Only has 6k miles and is a 2010!!! On top of that the owner has gone thru and added some nice goodies.

Washed with Blackfire carwash soap
Wheels were cleaned with soapy water and a shot of iron-x
Tires cleaned with Tuffshine tire cleaner
Paint decon with DP clay bar as there was overspray over the entire car
Compounded with Pinnacle advanced compound via Makita rotary/Flex PE8 and orange CCS pad/Flex orange cutting pad
Polishing was done with Pinnacle advanced finishing polish and 3401 with black ccs pad
coating prep was hand done with Blackfire coating prep spray and DP coating prep polish(Hood, will get to this later on)
Wheels were sealed with Hydro2
Paint coated with Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint coating V2
Tires dressed with Blackfire total eclipse tire dressing
Exhaust cleaned with Mothers mag aluminum polish

Overall the car wasn't too terrible and corrected very nicely with the products used.

I did run into a big issue with the aftermarket hoods paint. It was the softest I have ever seen! So soft that they only way not to mar the paint while wiping polish off was to use a waffle weave drying towel dampened with Blackfire waterless wash. This work great but when it came time to prep the hood for the coating I used the Blackfire coating prep spray with a brand new Supreme 530 microfiber. Boy was that a mistake! The result was severe marring as seen in the photo below.

At this point I wasn't sure on what I should use. After bouncing ideas back and fourth with Robert DiTerlizzi I ended up using DP surface prep polish with a black finishing pad and used a clean waffle weave towel soaked with water to wipe it off. Although it worked I still got some very very light marring but had to call it good at that point.


After all of this the car was ready to be coated and the coating went on great and gave a nice glassy look to this black car. I did have some high spots after curing but those were remedied with the DP surface cleansing polish. Onto the finished pics.

Showing of the supercharger is cool - kinda like the ZR1 - that's my dream car!

I like that touch as well. Combined with the ZL1 front bumper the car has the right look and stance IMHOP. That supercharger whine helps a little too ;)

Not really a Chevy guy but that car is sick and it looks amazing.
