All the work was done by hand and not with machines, took ten and a half hours to get it from pink to red!!!
Hope you like it, needs cleaning again but need to get it detailed professionally but can't afford it ATM.
Before
After 10 and a half hours work
How it stands now
Thanks for Looking
that is very well done mate, what did you use to get it looking like that?
That's a top job there bud, can't beat a bit of elbow grease.
Just used t-cut and then went over it twice with red colourwax polish, still not happy with it though needs claybarring when I get paidlmao
Gets washed and polished every week without it being moved also
Lovely. Done this to my Corsa now about 5 times, it's getting to the point that I may be arrangeing a booking to get the outside de-rusted, and resprayed in a red that is spot on, but won't fade (Or at least I hope it won't). I accidentally got overspray from back to black bumper restorere which has ammusingly brightened the paint it touched. Back to Red anyone?

I'm just waiting for the paint around my arches to flake off or something equal. If it doesn't, accidental fading cure

Booking mine in soon for the roof to be re-sprayed the last owner didn't care about it and left bird poop on the roof and it has taken some of the paint off

nice job mate....my first car was a red corsa like that, or rather it was pink!! did the same as you with the T-Cut, but I found that it needed waxing every week otherwise it would fade straight back to pink!! mustnt have had very thick paint
eventually got sick of that and bought a black one instead.........washed maybe 5 times a year if its lucky
i had that problem with my corsa too i had keep it polished all the time got a silver and a black 1 now much easier lol
very nice work

Looks very good mate, i am a car valeter by trade and had a red vauxhall nova as a first car which was pink i used t-cut a few times and then moved onto MER body polish, its German stuff as seen on tv. It is hard to work with but is worth it, leaves a 6 month teflon protection on the car. can also be used on boats etc etc. I now also used meguiars stuff which is also very good if you want to take the time. Mine didnt fade really after i used Mer on it. However i did wash my car near enough everyday as everyone knew my acr for workin in a valeting garage so was kind of perm advertising and also looked very good. If you want any tips or any help at all just PM me.
Cheers ian
