Title: Exterior Condition - best option
Post by: Johnny_tro on August 05, 2011, 10:30:50 pm

I'm 99% complete on my interior, few finishing touches here and there, now it's just sorting out the exterior.

Car been looked after (metalic black) but has done 90k

Is the best route a FULL professional detail?

and BIG ONE - if I put the rear bumper on, skirts and splitter and have them painted < should you get a detail done before they are painted? or after?

Get it detailed at least a few weeks after it's been painted  :happy2:

was thinking before.....

1) better finish, would hopefully give my painter a better chance of matching......

2) is it wise/logical to detail a new paint job?

Get Russzs to do it, He lives in Walsall and is amazingly good, and reasonable priced too.

and your all in agreement < detail AFTER painting is done?
