These are some before and after pictures of the car we just sold. I thought y'all might appreciate seeing them. The customer should be happy that this work was done after he struck a deal or the price for the car would definitely have been higher. It is hard to argue with a slick black notch!

If any of you want some serious paint rescue done on your car, just holler at me and we can hook you up!

The starting point:

The sanding process:

Hi Marty I got some chips on my hood and trunk and many on my front bumper. Do you think you can do something with that. Or should I send pics

The car is being picked up by one of my buddies on Saturday and he will deliver it back up to new jersey on Sunday.

We sent the pics to the new owner and he was very happy!

I'd really like to know, so if you have a chance, that would be great. I'm betting it's 1000 grit. I may try it.

You are only part right.

Start with 1,000 move on to 1,500, and then on to 2,000.

Then it is a patented combo of addiditives.

Thanks Marty. I'm considering having this done. I also need to drive out to your place and see where you're located. Your just one exit before Guam - Right?

Make the third left at the squirrel with two x's for eyes....

LOL

The paint/polish is done at our shop in Cartersville.

I am telling you, you will be shocked at how your car will look after the treatment.

Makes me miss my 91 Notch! Suprised he starts with 1000grit, On a not brand new finish I would always go 1200 or 1500 then up to 2000 as older finish is not soft as new finish and sand markers get harder to buff out. Looks very nice though, very nice work...

Very nice car Marty. I would love to see it here in Jersey.
Your guys did a real nice job on this ride.
Can you imagine what a DBP would look like with this treatment.
Thanks for the photos

LOL!!!

I need to post some pics for you of some of his other handy work. You would definitely appreciate it, given your line of work!

Talk to the guys at youre local paint jober they can hook U up with the right stuff. Myself I use nothing but 3M products. # steps with 2 diff type's of buffing pads & 3 diff 3M products youll be set. Oh yea & some BenGay for youre sore back lol.
