(Free) Micolour respray is enough brand whoring for me Pat

2 pak is pretty tuff...prolly doesnt need it anyway...as long as you wash it correctly , just throw a liquid wax on it every couple months and don't scuff the paint by over washing it with brushes it will hold its shine for ages...

[HEKT1K]

Yeah at no stage was I planning to have it detailed.. Brand new headlights will distract the punters from any imperfections in the paint anyhow

somebody buy my bbs's so i can buy 22s

[Mohsen]

SAU brand whores represent....

you cant detail a fresh spray job anyway, Paint needs time to breathe out solvents..

paint detailing is what you do when you want to sell your ratty old car, or when you aquire an old car cheap that neeeds a clean up, or when your car just needs some TLC..

new paint job pretty much voids the need for any of that...I'd rather fix an old paint job than repaint though if possible...resprays always have f**k ups unless you pay top dorra....even then you're not guarenteed ...

but yeah, if you cant paint it shiney enough or put fancy wheels on it the average punter wont notice...I will though

Factory paint generally can do with a good correction - my HSV is not great from the factory by any means of the word. Never seen a factory skyline any better nor lots of other manufacturers for that matter.

Some paint jobs as part of resto's actually are not meant to be 100% perfect either, car's weren't originally afterall.

And whilst sometimes you can get imperfection, any decent panel beater will fix it for free so that's a guarantee in itself.

But yeah, fix the existing if possible, it's amazing what can be done. I've seen Micolour do some pretty amazing stuff... Actually Waxit in Tulla (wholesaler for products) are also a good place to visit... Good idea for another tech day actually, i missed the last one couple years back, but those that went said it was pretty good.

Yep even cars like Ferrari's and Lamborghini's can do with a detail from the factory. Larry from Ammo NYC posts up detailing jobs all the time with these cars, as even brand new they have imperfections:

yesh i went...been polishing cars ever since

though in saying that I have 2 cressidas here...one is original paint polished near perfection as I could get it and one is in the process of full 2k respray.. TBH the respray does look alot more amazing than the paint on my original one....its just deeper, shinier and sexier overall...and thats where a respray wins out...
