Vp commodore executive project & daily wagon

[commodore1994]

Looks awesome, how did the paint turn out? much orange peel? I once got orange peel when i painted a VR i had black.
I just wet sanded it with 2000 grit sandpaper and polished it, turned out awesome and the paint was smooth and glossy.

The paint turned out quiet good.
Still has a fair amount of orange peel, but the areas i have given a wet sand and buff came up great.

Have a couple of things i wanna do better so never finished the wet sand as ill be respraying again anyways. Practice makes perfect..

The fuel tank came out almost perect straight off the gun

the black guard look untill i repaint the hole car later this year.
looks cool but really bad at the same time.

the wagon with its white tailgate

They look good but why do you need to respray the white one?

 

[LAP004]

The white one just wasnt prepped as well as i could have. There was a crease on the lhr guard which just shows a little bit under certain light and i have a pooling mark on the roof and boot . To fix i have to rub the body colour back to primer.

Most of the car is good but just know i can do better.

And the wagon has no paint on the roof or bonnet

I can not believe my eyes. The progress you have made with that white vp. and you have also done well with the wagon
I'm a big fan of the vp's, i have a vp calais. Your daily wagon looks pretty clean aswell besides the paint issues and white tailgate. But it looks straight and seems to be in good condition. I think it will come up quite nice with a respray. Is the front on the wagon bagged or just lowered with lowered springs? Also what wheels are on both of them? i like them. especially the black ones. Are you going to get white door handles/ mirrors for the sedan? or do you like them as is? and... one last question, what tail lights are in the wagon? never seen them before.

Oh well. Learn by mistakes. When I painted the VR I had I didn't use a block to sand with, just hand sanded and it made it look all ripply and just bad. But I learnt from that mistake and now I use a block. Once you take it back and prep it good it should look pretty good. Runs in the paint and orange peel and stuff like that is easy fixed.
Also top job on the brakes, they look really good.
