e28 M5 cosmetic restoration
Hey all,
Just cataloging some work on a local 1988 e28 m5. Its been fully resprayed with 2 stage jet black several years ago. Interior is not in the best of shape and the owner plans on having the front seats redone. Full 3 stage polish with Opticoat will be done here. Spent a full 7 hours on the first stage. 1st degreased and cleaned the engine bay before this bucket was clear when I began.... condition of the paint on the hood....ready for some love ouch etching and lots of RIDS all taped up test section on hood 2 passes got me this, 2 more stages and it should end up a mirror. video showing the difference vs what I started with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWiJACZf0c0 Adams gorgeous s/c e39 M5 hanging out trunk polished out.....damned good for 105 on purple wool.....killer combo for heavy correction same treatment everywhere corrected as I left it tonight, ready for stage II
