Pictures: 1991 Alfa Romeo - Porter Cable 7424XP Ultimate Challenge!

[Mike Phillips]

First... here's the Extreme Makeover Team from last night!

(Look at the car too)




And here's the products we used to undo the damage and create a beautiful finish....

[Mike Phillips]

Here's the final results....














If you look at this picture carefully, I tried to take the picture at just the right angle to make it look like there's an orange hood scoop stiicking out of the hood on the Alfa...
























And here were the before....

In the garage under florescent lights....




Outside in the sun....




















Thank you Doc for trusting us with your Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce!


And thank you to all the guys that helped with the project!

Wow! Amazing

I wish you would have posted pictures of what the car looked like after using only the porter cable, I thought that was the purpose of the post in the first place

You stated in the first post, "This is the tool we are going to use"

I really wanted to see what the PC could do with that paint, since I own the 7424

Excellent work guys as usual.

I thought the same thing. I'm assuming the PC just couldn't tackle the job.

Yes that was kind of a letdown. Don't get me wrong the car look 3,000,000 times better for it though I'm sure.

Wow! Amazing

Thank you sir!

Excellent work guys as usual.

Thanks Chris... see you next week...


I have lots of pictures showing the process but alas... I have to pull products to ship to the "My Classic Car" TV Studio for our upcoming trip to visit and film with Dennis Gage...

Well I explained in a previous post that the car looked GREAT after using only the Porter Cable, in fact the OWNER was ecstatic.

It comes natural to me to want to do the best I can and like I said before, when I scheduled this car and proposed to only use the PC I though all we had to do was remove holograms, not remove lots of deep scratches.

Things changed.


So we're fluid down here and we changed or process to do even better work. That's something we can be proud of...

One thing people that detail cars need to learn and that is you need to be able to change your process on the fly...
