Paint levelling - white Caldina GT 4

The owner of this sports wagon ordered for a paint levelling task. This car was recently resprayed but the paint was not levelled and had generous amount of orange peel.





Upon washing and claying, this car was given 5-step paint correction. Featuring the Osren P50 with denim pads to cut and level the paint. Followed up by a multi step paint correction and finishing that yields a mirror finish, even on a pearl white paint. Upon perfecting the paint surface, this car was given a coat of Opti coat (Pro) to restore thickness and hardness to the paint.

Below are the before and after photos...

The paint was inspected under different lightings prior to coating. As expected by levelling the paint, not a scratch or swirl was found.



It's pleasing to see that the metallic flakes of the paint stand out after being levelled.


The car was finally coated with Opti Coat (Pro) to restore thickness and hardness to the paint.





A total of 3 and a half days to craft this finish.


Thank you...
