Zaino again: My VR4

[bernmc]

Finally got all the zaino products I'd ordered (no stock of Z-5, and missing Z-PC from my original order), and had the time to do a car properly (about 12 hours!).

 

I thought I'd experiment on my VR4 before attacking the Z. The VR4 was in a pretty sorry state, as you can see:

 

Rear panel

 

 

A-Pillar scratches:

 

 

Bumper scratch

Did the whole thing - cleaned back to paint, clay, the Z-PC, and started zaino layers.

 

The door ofter one application of Z-5:

 

 

The a-pillar after 2 layers of Z-5, and one of Z-3:

 

 

And that bumper scratch (could probably have continued polishing it out, but I was a bit anxious about going too far):

Are you getting progressively more naked

Mirror mirror on the wall: (Note that the granular appearance in some of the pics isn;t photo or paint quality - it's my tarmac drive reflected in the paintwork )

 

 

And the whole car done:

 

 

 

The Z is next in line.........!

And they were just for you!

 

Getting back onto topic, car looks great! Though not sure i could spend 12 hours doing it!

 

3-4 seems to be my limit

That is no doubt a fast car; but there is no beauty in it is there

That's the whole point of it (for me). I had a couple of Subaru's, and had to put up with every chav in a pumped up nova having a go. I could ignore them 6 days of the week, but eventually someone would p me off and I'd end up driving like a hooligan.

 

No-one here knows what a VR4 is - just looks like a dirty grate estate - so no-one bothers me.

 

Takes a good load of furniture too

 

And the look on the face of a porsche/BMW driver when they realise that the car that's been hounding them is an estate... priceless!

 

When I want to pose, I take the Z (my wife's better at that than me anyway )

Fair play then
