Photos of Thundernight Paint on Delivery and After Correction and Coating

Hello Everyone,

I have really benefitted from all of the content here while waiting 4 months for my M240i. I wanted to give back and share what it was like to get a Thundernight Metallic car, correct the paint myself, and then ceramic coat it myself.

The entire process from delivery took about 14 hours. In the first photo I will show how bad the paint looked on arrival. It seems it went through a sand storm or something and then was detailed as the entire car was scratched and every crevice had sand in it.

I took it home and washed it, debadged it, full clay bar + lubricant, full cutting polish, IPA rinse to remove any remaining waxes/sealants, and then ceramic coated it with 2 layers.

The remaining photos are 24 hours after coating taken today.
