New paint on the 535i and the infamous 540/0

[jbraswell]

Well, finally got the front clip on my car painted, the rock chips were intolerable and my bumpers were faded. Ended up getting the hood, fenders, and both bumpers painted for $750. Told the guy that I would buff it, but he went ahead and did it so I'm guessing there was a lot of trash. Spent all night tonight sanding out the rough spots and polished the front clip. I'm very happy with the results, especially considering the price.

Also got some pics of the 540i I picked up from a member on here. It is rough, but fixable. Still trying to find info on it as it has a weird combination of options.

Swirls after I picked the car up :o




After 3M/Menzerna/Blackfire








One of my kidneys flew off on the highway a couple weeks ago, so I could use a pair if someone has one lying around

Nice looking car. Are you missing your Kidneys? Mine went bye bye when I was at a friends house. Damn Kids I still have the BIG VW Bus ornament from back in the terror days.

3M extra cut for sand scratches (bad marring, imagine that)
Menzerna IP with yellow edge pad
blackfire SRC FP with blue edge(basically menzerna PO106FF) GREAT polish
Blackfire Wet diamond

Been working on the e30 for a while, kinda a weekend spare car me and my dad bought when I was 16. Just polished it last weekend though, gotta love single stage

Yeah I'm on there. I've been using 3M for 4 years now, just getting out of the domestic stuff and am very impressed. Zaino on the way
