Ok, not a Porsche but just look at that paintwork

As some will know my son has new premise's for his business of car maintenance, repair, performance upgrades, mapping and bodyshop. I thought that I would share this photo from a collection that he has been posting on his FB page over the last couple of weeks. Car is a Ford Focus ST which is in for a full respray including repairs to sills, wing, bonnets and rear hatch, basically a few dent's, scrapes and two traffic accidents of recent years. He has just posted this which I guess is close to the final paint finish, ready for flattening with a mop. I can never tell, last time I thought that a Cossie was looking bloody good I see his partner attacking it with a flat blade flattening the topcoat further before final polish??

Anyway, here's the picture, who needs a mirror....:) might be of interest for anyone looking for bodywork on their car, yes he does do Porsches, one day he said he'll do a full respray on mine, shame he's so damn busy...:)

Good colour to paint yours. Red is for dancing donkeys and girls...:ROFLMAO:
 
I'm not a fan of red on a 944, but TBF when I saw yours and Mark K's at Rutland a few years ago they didn't look too terrible. When red fades though it looks rubbish. I had a mk 1 Golf GTi Campaign in red years ago, and cutting the paint back was a PITA.
 
I hear what you're saying, mine needs a full respray now. Paints too thin for anymore cutting back, result of too much polishing on my part...:)

Have some lacquer on it next time?

Never... I hate the stuff and the biggest issue that I currently have is some fool used lacquer when doing a repair to my driver's front wing some years ago. I always state...no lacquer. It's now beginning to blow and I know it's been lacquered as, unlike normal paint, you can't polish it out, using a cutting paste shows no colour on the pad. Alas, it's a decade ago at least since it was done so can't go back and complain... lacquer is bad, very bad... period...lol... yep you got it....I hate the stuff...
 
A black 1980 3.0S with fishnet recaros was my P&J many, many years ago. But keeping it shiny took a lot of effort. I'd have lacquer on black every time now.
 
Another similar thought (And Plug for paintwork services by Moi!) on "Just look at that Paintwork" with another piece of metal this time (Forged aluminium).

But unlike bodyshop boys who have the luxury of "flattening with a mop" this has to be 100% Perfect not just straight
out the gun, but also after a 200 degree bake!

Body boys have it easier! ...… there's no way of getting any devices in-between spokes even though these GT3-RS wheels are Large and have an open design....
