Washed the Car today, and fell in love with the color again. Thought I'd share. Only had room on my Camera for two pics

thats hot, needs wheels though

[C_EICK]

you got the money, cause I don't. Im paying my own way through school.

if you look closely..... you'll see a round black object in the wheel well....... has a silver hub cap in the middle..... that's the wheel..... has two on each side of the car. :p



in all seriousness, she looks nice and clean! I'm not a HUGE fan of that color... I like the darker colors... they show off the shine a little more to me. :)

[lonnie]

Not a fan of the color as well, but it looks good! Someone didn't use any wax? I don't see that glassy glossyness...LOL.

I'll take that boat in the back there...at least it looks like one upside down..35bucks including ship...LOL, and who cuts all that grass...God Damn?

[C_EICK]

didn't have time to wax. next time though.

as for the boat, its my nieghbor's. That's only like a quarter of our grass, but I cut it, riding lawnmower ftw.

She's gona shine like no ones business when you do...and what your neighbor don't know won't hurt him...you can have it shipped to Maryland, and when they come to pick it up tell him it's being overhauled...:lol:

[AleroDrime]

I refuse to acknowledge my hubcaps or anyother hubcaps as rims

i want to slap manufactures of all makes and models for producing these plastic pos's, im sure they're cheaper to produce but they look retarded

[_01Alero_]

looks very clean! I do like the way that silver shines...

[C_EICK]

its mildly pearlescent. i get asked about it quite a bit. but it's just silver mist metallic

[jayson_waltz]

that color does look familiar...:p yea i love mine that color too.

[TheEdgeofSanity]

my car's the same color.... i love it but wish it had less flaws and scratches...

[Nate's Alero]

polishing compound is your friend

[jayson_waltz]

polishing compound is your friend
doesn't fix it all. i've done almost my whole car a couple times cause it was bad, and my trunk lid countless times. it helps, but its not perfect.

Wetsanding does wonders. 1200,1500 and a follow up of 2000 grit will get rid of almost anything.

sandpaper + paint = :nuts: :No: :gun: :hissyfit: :stupid: :knob: :censored: :wtf2: :wacko: :banghead: :bs: :blink:

You have to have the right compound, pad, and buffer, and know how to use it. It's not easy, but just about anything short of a scratch that goes through the paint can be fixed.

[Ghadsphi]

Minus my rims, your tint (So jealous there), and my missing paint I love our car haha.

That's the way to fix clearcoat imperfections, tex. You sand em (I usually do 1500 followed by 2000), then a buf, then polish until all spiderwebbing is gone. That's how you get a showcar clearcoat finish, even if the sprayed clearcoat wasn't mirror perfect at first.

Just gotta make sure that it's not old paint that's been buffed/ polished away to the point that sanding will go straight through it. Making old clear look good is a destructive process, lol.

looks good. love seein my car after a nice wash.
