A few reflection shots

[Digital Reaper]

Started on the 197s paintwork today, and used the following :

Usual Clay, De-Iron and De-Tar procedure
Kestrel DAS6 Pro
CG Green Hex pad / Menzerna 2500 Polish
CG Black Hex pad / Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite
RaceGlaze 55 wax / Megs Last Touch

Very little refining was needed, and I acheived around 75 - 80% correction

A few relection shots (Bonnet, front bumper, front arches only)

Not quite as satisfying as say black / Albi blue but not bad for silver.

I'll update as I finish the car.

Very nice fella!

Bolt covers are needed.

Very nice fella!

Bolt covers are needed.

Problem is A) They tend to not sit flush with the wheel centre B) They won't cover the locking wheel nut, so that would remain uncovered.

 

[Giles]

use A/G metal polish for the bolts.

They were polished up completely 2 weeks ago!

 

[Giles]

try metal polish them again & use autoglym extra gloss protection.

see how that goes

I think i'll go for a more permanent solution of buying nickel plated aftermarket bolts tbh - really spoils the look of the car as they stand currentley.

Great work, very sharp finish indeed!
