I posted this up on FB, but here it is for those who aren't linked. A few have asked me to make a video and I had to do the other side, so thought why not.
Some may tell me that I am doing it wrong or maybe the technique is not effective. Please tell me. No one here in Australia had done it and even though my car I believe is in excellent condition, there were a few small scratches and also dark and shiny spots that needed attention. So I thought, what the hell, give it a go.
So far though, she looks really good when I finished it on Saturday afternoon. Probably needs a little more with the blending pad.
Didn't have the balls to try the bonnet. Plus trying to run straight lines was hard enough, like the roof. I didn't show in the video, but I had to redo it due to wonky lines and this time, I used masking tap as guide lines to help me. Then it came out top notch.
I did see a video somewhere that an owner set up a jig to regrain the bonnet. It was awesome, but how often would you regrain a bonnet?
I started watching this video and thought WTF? and nightflyer said good job? am I missing something? then I watched a little longer and got to the real video. nice. impressive.
I am still looking for sandpaper that you use on a circular saw though...

Wow, great video. And what a nice mumbling sound of the engine when you do the walk around at the end. I like your engine sound!

The way I see it, if you're gonna drive around in a car, why not do it with some style?
