Junkman2008 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I really like this place. The people are real friendly, the city is small and comfy and they have an Italian food place that is to die for! I can say that I'll be visiting this place as often as Adam wants me to. I hope to see some of you guys there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman2008 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'd love to believe me AJ but I'll be in the Retro Dealer on Thursday AM till Sunday afternoon.... Bummer. Describe the scratch to me. How deep is it and do you have a two stage paint job (base coat/clear coat)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6T9_CHARGER_RT Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Yes base/clear...the scratch was made by a plastic windshield tool into the clearcoat only....its more of a scuff but deep enough to feel with your finger nail. using the PC & SHR I was able to camouflage it a lot, but its there none the less. I did a little practicing yesterday with some sandpaper....i removed the rear bumper and had an area that had a lot of orange peel. i used a piece of wet/dry I had (not sure of the # grit though as it was a small piece left over & the # was not on there) it felt pretty fine though. Went to town, knocked out the orange peel & followed with SHR & brought the shine back up with good results. Mind you this was behind the bumper, unseen, so i wasnt too concerned with the outcome. Im fairly confident that i could get the scratch out.....now just to get the time to do it.... Am I on the right track? I'll try and get a pic of it as well.. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chris You're on the right track except for the part where I was cringing because you didn't know what grit sand paper you were using! It's up to you if you want to give a go at it!

6T9_CHARGER_RT Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 OK a few minutes ago I took about 1/2 hour away from BBQ & beer drinking to get my nerve up to try & wet sand my scratch out (probably not the best time after having a bit of a buzz going but whatever) First pic is the offending scratch....in a PITA spot because its right next to the windshield & goes across 2 panels (cowl & top of door) My hand is in the pics to get the camera to focus on the scratch & give some perspective.... Next pic is after I used some 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper....used plenty of water & lightly sanded the area till I couldn't see the scratch anymore but did see a lot of white/dull paint!!! Following is a close up pic of the area AFTER Swirl & Haze Remover.....I hit it about 3 times.... Last pic is after 2 passes with the Fine Machine Polish & a final coating of....ahem....Zaino Z5 (sorry Adam...would like to pick up some Americana or Buttery Wax at the show to try it out) While the repair isnt 100% perfect its 99.9% better than it was.....there is still 1 or 2 low spots left of the scratch...i was getting nervous with the 2000 & I didnt want to go any more. You'd be hard pressed to find it unless you really looked for it....hopefully the flouresecent lights in the Retro dealer arent as bright as in my garage!! Thanks again A.J. & Adam's for giving me the courage to try this.....oh yeah, thanks to the Corona's as well Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
