The caveman's paint job - the CroCodile Peel
Hello friends
We all know about oranges, full of vitamins, good for health.
One Question:
Do body shops and factories borrow this texture for their paint jobs? Is it to mimic nature?
Well food for thought!
Let's take a journey into the caveman’s paint job, his chef-d’oeuvre or master piece on a 07 black Toyota Corolla. My uncle had the same for resale. The car had been resprayed and was covered with Orange Peel. Looking at it from close range...
Just observe
Orange peel! Not really…
More like crocodile peel!
Can this be corrected?
Well… a little and a lot of prayers, perseverance, patience and passion… this is what I learned
washed and clayed
Started with the fender, early dawn, when everybody was sleeping
Paint leveled: 1500 followed by 2000 grit paper
Polishing
My photographer
It started raining
… and heavily ( my light gun got wet)
Moved the car inside
Some pics when I returned from work
Only the fender’s done. The car was sold before I could complete it.
Thanks to Almighty God Whose help was with me. N thanks for viewing.
Your comments are welcome and appreciated as always.
