Spent the Day Playing with Toxos Carribean Blue paint

Post by Tiny »

Just thought i would share the photos of Toxos car after i spent all of Saturday giving it a Polish removing Swirl marks and some quite interesting scratches some of which were really hard to remove like where cardboard boxes had been stored on the bonnet.

But after about 6 hours with a Polisher and some quite hard compounds its was done.

Polished and swirl marks removed :thumleft:

Then we went for a quick blast into MK to pic up a V5 and i swear i have lost some hearing from his Buddyclub with no bung. Awesome noise just so LOUD! :shock:

I love the colour and it just suits this car so well i had to share. :thumleft:

:thumleft: Many thanks, the results are truly awesome - the photos just don't do it justice.

Although, the buddy club exhaust is not mine, it's on loan ;)

How much do you charge for doing this? Mine will need some serious amounts of TLC when I de-sticker it, and I seriously lack the patience for polishing.

top job very shiney indeed my wife loves the colour, looks really well on a tin top aswell having more colour on the roof as opposed to having a t bar or sunroof like mine it looks very nice top man. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:
she's all comming together nicely now after a fair bit of cash spent, not bad for just an n/a now for some body kit i think.

The roof is unfortunately bu88ered. You can't see it in the pics but it's through to the base coat in a number of places. Tiny did an excellent job of concealing this however :)

not really just placed the camera on the engine cover looked through the rear window at the screen on the camera through the class and took the shot on a timer.

Taking it through glass and getting it right with no reflections is just too much like hard work and effort. :oldtongue:

No worries just goes to show its not how many megapixels you have just how you use them and how good the electronic trickery in the box is :thumleft:

Definately agree. Some of the point and click cameras out there now can produce better pics than a DSLR if you don't know what you're doing with one.
