Thread: Just a Topaz Gold Metallic GTP

Yeah I remember wanting to do all that sh1t too, til the wallet got tight and the wife aka "Financial Advisor" said family before car, which is right. I'm going to see about messing with Photoshop on the engine bay as to what will be painted. I don't want to get stupid with the Gold, nor go apesh1t with the black.

Laughed really hard at the sign the kid was holding. lol



Anyway nice looking ride man! Keep it up.

Yeah we had too much fun that day on patrol. The days of DOOR KICKING and house searches were awesome. We broke sh1t and gave no fvcks. I'm miss being in a Combat Arms unit. I will also miss being in the ARMY, but after this medical retirement is complete it will be time to do less body breaking things and work on the GP more. A special day is coming up soon, I will let yall know.

What does the special day intel

Roger That, carry on.

I washed the car last night and this morning used Meguiars Ultimate Compound on most of the front bumper, LH fender, RH fender and spoiler. The difference was night and day. I realized how long I have been putting this off and needed to use that stuff. I also realized how FUQED UP my front bumper paint is with all the FUQIN road chips.

Look close and you can see the difference


With the light reflecting you can see the change


Whole area above the Arrow shiny

Don't have time for wax and polish today. I was mainly trying it to see if there was a change. I used a drill with a small buff pad to get that finish. Since I see it works, the whole car will be done eventually.

If the wife allows me, I will get some clay bars. Can't wait to finish it. Now that I see how much better it is, I gotta get crackin.

Thanks, it's not that hard, I have been lazy and unmotivated.

Good job. Ultimate compound is a keeper along w/ Meg 105/205 and a Porter Cable. I need to do mine once its back on the road. For now just a occasional spray with the hose. lol

Thanks, wish I had the correct Polisher/ Porter Cable. I used a $20 Black and Decker corded drill, spins about 1400, not too fast, maybe little slow, but got the job done without fvcking it up.

Most anything is better then by hand lol. Keep up the good work, I normal hate gold cars but your doing something to make me love them more and more.
