Marco's 370z - MRWorks Shaved Door Handles

Holliday · 08-27-2010, 01:31 PM

I figured with the work you guy's do, wet sanding would have been on the agenda

I look forward to seeing the final product!

Go see a factory NSX before stating every car has orange peel :P

I really wish factory paint jobs were better, especially on the black cars!

I also wish factory paint jobs we're better. I've seen plenty of NSX where I work including high end exotics that need correction. I do automotive photo illustration work and one thing I do is work with car reflections and getting bodylines straight with reflector cards finding the best light for a vehicle color. I've seen thousand dollar paints jobs to 1 day paint jobs. I will say many cars from factory have orange peel only a very few rarely come out flawless even with the new technology that is being used to paint vehicles. I know many Ferrari and Lamborghini owners who have their paint constantly maintained cut and buffed to always renew that show room shine. One can only do so much to keep a car scratch free from daily driving. No need to explain this procedure in depth but if you choose to state the facts. Again, I have seen plenty of orange peel from factory vehicles direct from the dealer. Just randomly googled and found this guys thread. Acura/Honda paint is not the best paint. Not going to get into the differences between cheap and expensive paints and how it all works.

Anyway this isn't an orange peel thread, back on topic

FINAL UPDATE! 11-10-10

We forgot to post this due to the MR-GT Fenders...

Here are a few photos we took since the car got a free car wash since it rained yesterday.

Enjoy!

Full Body Make Over!

Looks great.

I'm digging the fenders too.

Jjaden · 11-10-2010, 11:10 PM

Wow that looks incredible, what rear bumper is that, the Nismo? What front lip have you used?

The car looks amazing, I would do mine exactly like that but in black.

Namir · 11-10-2010, 11:14 PM

Looks clean!
Maybe I'm nit picking but in the second picture, does the front fender paint look off or is it just the angle?

Dan Z Man · 11-10-2010, 11:16 PM
