I dont get why someone wouldnt just respray their whole car for that much lol
Time wise, it took me around 10 hours to do the bonnet and the roof! The main reason for such a time consuming process was due to the rock hard paint on the Merc! Certain places I had to start off with 1200grit just to get the process moving along!
All in all though, im glad I done it! Its a shame im thinking to send it in for paint work next year LOL!
i just wet sanded a red royal mail transit van direct from royal mail and never been polished in its life and faded very badly,cost me nowt for the piece of 1000 wet and dry and then used a old bit of g3 with water poured inside to make it go further and it came up a million times better at the end all glossy shiny red at a cost of probably 50p and 3 hrs of my time.
anyone paying top money needs a punch in the face as its not hard to wet sand with a bar of soap and a old bit of used wet and dry and cutting compound
