[QUOTE="musclehedz, post: 217588, member: 1033"] Some pix of my car right after out of the oven with very heavy orange peel so the optical clarity of the reflection is not that good:- [IMG]http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/7990/19012007096smallkr3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/2234/19012007101smallom3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4163/19012007100smallye0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/3348/19012007099smallfd7.jpg[/IMG] Base color is called Gun Metal Black, non-metallic. Clear coat is High Solid and a special blend (it has a black tint in it thereby the clear makes it very reflective and black and hence makes the surface looks like a mirror when it is prepped properly during the orange peel removal). Full set of Standox was imported by myself, from Primer right up to Hardener, no short cuts. After the painter was done, it went straight to Auto Detailer where Darren flattened the paint and perfected the surface with his special blend of MG products (I believe he has blends that is customized, not the pro stuff that is available off the shelf from the importer). Right after that, I sealed it with Zaino, up-todate about 22 layers (11 layers of Z2Pro and 11 layers of Z5Pro, both added with ZFX, 3 layers max in 24 hours). My usual weekely routine is just washing with Z7, wipe down with Z6 and the grand finale with Z8 and ZCS. [/QUOTE]
