    Fresh Polish

    SO this is my first time posting my car. I've had it for a year now and it has always been my pink& gray e30. Since spring is now here I decided that some paint work was in order so I broke out the orbital polisher and trim paint and went to work.

    before:

    Rear was the worst


    After:



    Resprayed the underpainting as well, it was all uneven and horrible before:





    I really need to fill and paint my lip, it looks so gray now.
    (Also coils coming soon)

    sorry for the fuzzy shots, my lens is filthy!

      The paint looks nice and deep. Good job.

                          Did you clay as well?

                          What orbital/polish did you use?

                              It is brilliantrot, I'm not sure what stage 1 means? If that means no clearcoat then yeah because the pads i used were RED after a few areas haha

                              Will probably get an IS lip or an I Lip depending on how low I go, I want a durable/ cheap lip while I first start driving low

                              I clayed, and used I believe Mcguire's 105 deep cut polish, takes off a ton of paint but it leaves you shining
