20 minutes of paint correction, condensed into 2.5 minutes. 🎥
This is a closer look at what goes into refining a finish like this VeilSide RX-7 fender.
The process starts with denibbing, carefully removing small imperfections and surface defects from the paint. From there, the panel is wet sanded to level the surrounding surface and reduce the appearance of deeper imperfections.
Once the surface has been properly refined, it’s time for cutting and polishing. The cutting stage removes the sanding marks and restores clarity, while the polishing stage further refines the finish, bringing back the gloss and depth in the paint. ✨
Paint correction isn’t just about making a panel shiny. It’s about carefully removing imperfections while preserving as much of the paint as possible. Every panel is different, and the process has to be adjusted based on the condition of the paint and the result you’re trying to achieve. In this case, it was a freshly painted car. We had lots of clear coat to work with.
There’s a lot happening here that gets lost when you only see the before and after — so here’s the process from start to finish. 🛠️
