2000 Silverado Paint Correction

[RedXray]

This 2000 Silverado is in great shape with only 40,000 miles but the paint needed some work. The horizontal panels had some deep etched water spots and the paint also had some rids. Most of the water spot etching cut out, I'd say about 98% and also the rids except for a couple deep ones. Without a paint thickness gauge I was hesitant with cutting the factory thin clearcoat to deep.

I also installed Escalade door handles and a color matched tailgate handle and bezel. It's a 65 year old guys truck so the grandpaw package is quit evident.

The 14 year old clearcoat was on the hard side and has never been corrected.

I used Mothers Clay with ONRWW as a lube, M105 with a Orange CCS Pad for the compounding step and HD Polish on a Flat LC Black Finishing Pad for the polishing step. This was topped with CG Blacklight & V7.

Before shots show the etching, swirls and rids.

After M105... the M105 finished down great with hardly any micromaring. I did mention the clearcoat was on the hard side!

Finished

2000 Silverado pampered all it's 14 years.

Very nice. I loved M105 when I did a correction on my 2000.
