1996 ZX300 full detail - 02-07-2010, 05:51 PM

This car is for sale with only about 30K on the odo. Several panels have been repainted.

The exterior took about 9.5 hours. As you can see I didn't have a lot of space but I had a very pleasant time working on this paint.

Here are the only whole car pictures before I started.





The avarage condition of the paint looked like this

Awesome correction work. Just out of curiosity what panels were original paint? Those older Nissan paintjobs were alot better than the newer ones imho. They always have minimum factory orange peel and seem to correct quite well.

Sorry man. I bailed there in late August...too big and impersonal and I couldn't get any of my questions answered.

Feel free to PM me here. I'm around.
