1998 Isuzu Rodeo Extreme Makeover! - Single Stage Paint
1998 Isuzu Rodeo Extreme Makeover! - Single Stage Paint
This is a cheap re-spray using single stage red paint on this all original 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. As far as we know outside of an occasional washing and drying, the paint on this car has never been maintained in any other way.
What's unique about the paint is that no matter where you look, no matter the location, the paint is UNIFORMLY oxidized and to be honest... simply ugly.
Daily Driver = Production Detailing
To tackle this project we're going to use the Blackfire Total Polish & Seal which is a One-Step Cleaner/Sealant or All-in-One.
BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal is an all-in-one polish and paint sealant that delivers a smooth shine in one quick step. This is a timesaver that will save your paint finish. A combination of cleaners, polishing agents, and high gloss Wet Diamond polymers gives any paint finish instant shine and lasting protection. See what you can accomplish in just one step with BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal!
A cleaner/sealant is in the same category of products called cleaner/waxes only instead of using a wax like Carnauba wax for the protection ingredients this product uses man-made, synthetic polymers. Same idea though and this means this product will,- Clean
- Polish
- Protect
And do all three in one-step. Then afterwards we're going to machine apply a coat of Blackfire Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste Wax for an extra layer of protection and to also really give the red paint that warm Carnauba glow.
BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Ivory Carnauba Paste is a hand-poured, premium carnauba wax that combines a mile-deep shimmering gloss with high tech Wet Diamond polymers. It brings out the best in all paint finishes with a combination of super-refined carnauba wax blended with nourishing oils and German polymers. This wax creates incredible depth of shine on all paint colors with a hard, protective barrier to the elements.
First, let me document just how bad the paint is on this old Isuzu so we can see where we're starting from. Remember, the power in the after pictures is captured in the before pictures.
When doing an extreme makeover to showcase your talent or your products it's VITAL to get great before pictures because after you buff out the paint you can never go back in time to get them. You can ALWAYS get the after shots but you only have one opportunity to get the before shots.
See my article on this topic here,
The power in the after shots is created in the before shots
Without further ado....
Here's the before shots showing how neglected and ugly the paint is...
The paint is so flat it almost looks like RED PRIMER!
Absolutely zero gloss, shine or reflectivity in FULL SUN!
Looks like this Rodeo has seen a few rodeos in it's day!
It's so oxidized it's turning white as has a texture like chalk!
For those that don't know, this is call the,
High Overhead Hood Shot
Here's the sun trying to reflect off the hood...
Trying...
The sun trying to reflect... kind of a lost cause...
Even the paint inside the grill openings is uniformly oxidized...
Notice the Palm Tree off to the side of the truck...
Notice the lack of reflection of the Palm Tree on the hood...
And a cropped out section of the above picture...
Yep... this is what I would call a neglected vehicle...
In my how to book I list 11 categories that describe the condition of paint on ANY vehicle. I would say this Isuzu falls into category #7

This might blow your mind but I own a 2012 Toyota with ss paint. Some manufactures still use single stage paint. Mainly Toyota and Honda primarily on the whites, some blacks,and some reds.

This belongs to a co-worker's future mother-in-law and he said they purchased it just like you see it about 2 years ago.
It's possible the previous owners had it painted single stage and then never lifted a finger to maintain it but from the looks of it, at least to my eyes, it doesn't look like a repaint, it looks original.
Here's the deal, most cars come with a basecoat/clearcoat paint job.
Most doesn't equal all
Doesn't matter to me, I take em as I get em....
I originally had a classic BMW scheduled for tonight but the owner had to cancel out due to a schedule conflict.
Then I invited the owner of a 1956 Buck Special with a swirled-out, hazy looking paint job but he doesn't know who Autogeek is and has no idea what we do here on Thursday nights so he hasn't taken me up on my offer as of yet.
Perhaps as he meets more people in this area and sees the kind of work we turn out he'll change his mind but regardless, it's up to him. He can drive around in a cool car with a hazy paint job, fix it himself or have some fun and get some help from a great team of guys here at Autogeek on a Thursday night. I'm good with whatever he decides.
