    I saw that car when I came to pick up those calipers let's see some pics ?

Reason why is because you can burn through edges in a matter of seconds and its a VERY time consuming process if you want it done right.
        Correct, painters should be responsible for orange peel as the paint is still easy to work with. Also, as I'm still practicing my hand at that.

        Thank you kronus!

        Previous state of paint around car which kronus referred to as "Sand paper", although patina is cool

        Afterwards, iPhone 6 shots

        Unfortunately anything that has been etched into the paint is already far gone, important to keep in mind. Car now feels like glass. It was a pleasure looking at your awesome cars!

          I always say that I'll never own a black car ever again and then I see pics like these and I get drawn back to, "okay, maybe one more..."
          Nice work Alonzo, I might've got my M3 stuck in some sand on Saturday, (the picture was totally worth it), but I'll be coming back to ya soon! If you're ever in the Monterey area, let me know, I'll give some more because of gas money :pimp:

                Thanks guys, it's a lot of fun getting to take care of other people's pride and joy and talking about the passion we have for these cars. My schedule is pretty free both weekdays and weekends, feel free to shoot me a pm if you already haven't :D

                    I'm down in San Diego if you are ever this way. Do my own cars for the most part and a few non BMWs.

                      My E30 could definitely use some refreshing. Sadly, the paint is getting pretty thin in a couple of spots! Still, it would look better with a clay & polish. You got time next weekend to do an E30? Where in the Bay are you? I am down in the South Bay.

                                I drove up from Salinas, 1000% worth it!
                                Also, good luck with the sale of your E30 Alonzo, definitely one of the cleanest and best kept examples I've seen!
