Soft Paint Challenge - Respray?

This customer had enough of his car's OEM paint work and he took to opportunity to respray the entire car when he got into a minor accident. The respray job was done and surprisingly he spray back the same colour - black. 10 months after the respray job, his car is presented before me for grooming and polishing. Majority of the dark colour rides here face the same problem which is surface marring and the swirl mark can be easily seen with aid of strong lighting.




Surprisingly, the paint correction work was able to be completed in 3 hrs and the corrected paint work is protected with sealant coating. This 'new' paint work seem like a darker shade of black and it look very different with other similar OEMs. It is much glossier (comparable to the continental cousin) and the clarity is there as well (good respray job). When i did the finishing touch on the ride, the feeling is simply great. Execution was "smooth and creamy" as the paint is very workable and does not mar easily.








If you are frustrated with maintaining dark colour ride, you may want to consider changing to other lighter colours. On the contrary, this owner is happy with his black ride with the new paint work polished. Thanks for viewing.
