Why thanks Pushti77!
I don't know about a showroom condition, there are some very minor defects, ie stone chips which I missed whilst I was touching up with paint.
I'm glad I fitted those mudflaps as they will dramatically reduce the risk of more damage.

Would this process help milano pink paint? and peeled lacquer?

IMO it wont do anything for pinkness as the laquer is like a sheet of glass fading the paint below it and as you can get at the paint you wont get rid of the fading.

My lude as been painted in a different paint taking away the need for laquer and every time I do painting I make sure I use the same type of paint so I can cut and blend.

I got to re paint my roof as its more pink than red. For some reason it wasnt painted when it was resprayed Sad

Try it on a s#itty panel first, once you do that, before you know it the whole cars done. Laughing

Good job, but I would be sooo scared of taking of too much laquer.

Awesome

, might have to try this with mine if I can find the time, but I think it will get a panel from a breakers and have a practise on that first, before trying it on the actual car. Cool
