Digsy Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 I've had my door resprayed where it was keyed. I've noticed that it now lacks the depth of the surrounding paintwork. Is this likely to be just a shoddy job or will some judicious detailing get it to look the same? Any thoughts? Quote
H5 Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Hard to tell mate. Have you got any pics? One way of testing it, is to get an item like a bottle of polish and look at it in the reflection of the different panels. You will soon see any orange peel / milky lacquer etc. If it has just been done then I would say just get some of the same wax you already use onto it if all looks well. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 I'd give it a good polish first and then make an assessment. Quote

Try some G3 and a mop, if the paint has orange peel you'll need to knock it back with 1200 W&D paper ( & soapy water ) paint shop should have done this anyway. Sounds shoddy to me Quote
jonathan73 Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Bl00dy Hell Paul - you're a quick learner.... It was only on Saturday that you were bemused by microfibre and quick detailing spray I've had my door resprayed where it was keyed.

signwizard Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I owned a car bodyshop in a previous life...well the 80's anyway, you weren't even a seed then No fancy cloths and flashy waxes then, turtle wax and a piece of clean muslin if you were lucky, bits out of the old rag bag if you weren't. Ahhhh the smell of cellulose in the morning Quote
lomoto Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 sounds like a poor paintjob, or at the very least poor final polishing Quote
