I've done it in spots, but never a whole car. You don't even try this without a paint meter, and I'm not that "big time" to buy one.

Awesome job. Looks like that paint's about to drip off.

Great turnaround. Every new BMW could definitely benefit from a orange peel correction/colorsanding just as you have done. Excellent work!

Not to thread jack:
Picked up a 57' Mercedes 220S at Russo Steele a couple weeks ago and wetsanding, nibbing and correcting the car is going to be my weekend long project. I hopefully will post that writeup here soon!

Wow, awesome work!

Great work as always. Are you still using only Meguiar's products? And it looks like you've got an address now instead of just a van.

Thanks for the compliments.

Yes I am still 100% Meguiars. The Alpina was topped with something other than Meguiars due to the vehicle owners request. My "shop" is my garage at home. 90% of my work is still on the road. The higher-end multiple day work I bring home to work on.

hi great work, Car looks amazing BMW's always look good when they have been colour sanded :respekt:

when i colour sanded the black M5 i used 2000 grit and hand blocked the whole car you seem to get a better finish by doing it by hand, then 3000,4000 which actualy starts to polish the surface so less compounding. going from 1500 - 3000 is a big jump.
