First off ill start with my car. Used to be red. I completely refinished the car while i was attending college. I was trained with BASF products (Glasurit, Diamont, Limco) and i use the same products on all the work featured here thus far. These pictures are before, during and after.

Currently the fenders are in primer and the rest of the car has been spot primed and is nearly ready for paint, minus general prep.

Sometime in the future I would definitely love to have you bring my poor car's exterior back to life. Right now it looks cancerous, with the clear slowly peeling away.

Get here soon.
My FB is going to need a spray this summer, if not sooner/later. Right now the front is half sanded/primered/looks like crap. Also, when I pick up a new rear bumper cover from my Mazda6, it will need to be sprayed as well!
