Detailed: Subaru Impreza RB320

[RussZS]

Very quick write up on this one...

I was asked to bring a bit of life back into the paint on this stunning RB320 Impreza. I'd previously polished half of a door on this car as a demonstration; the difference was incredible, so the owner asked me to do the rest of the car for him!

The paint on this one, like most Impreza's (and Evo's!) was VERY thin. Most 'normal' cars read 150-200 microns, but the average on this car was closer to 100 or less!

So, not much paint here to play with... need to tread very carefully. As for swirls...

Pretty bad then! So, I whipped out the Rotary, Lime Prime and 3M Polishing Pad...

Not bad for a paint cleanser huh? Only 1-2 microns removed too!

I finished up with a layer of Swissvax's Onyx...

350BHP/400LBFT - he took me out in it. Wow. A proper car indeed...

Thanks for looking!

Russ.

Top job Russ as always
Get Steve to take you out in it round Bedford.
I've done a couple of days in it, best when it's damp. Powerslides for ever
Very supprising how few revs are needed to fly.
Russ you looked shocked


Awaits the my 200 eats them for breaky, yeah 0-60 in less than 5 get back in your box

Cheers Steve

He already offered to take me out at Bedford, I'll try not to rip his roof handle off!! I was shocked, it was like going from a 1.2 to my Megane, same difference from my Megane to that weapon. It was a BEAST.

You should buy one

Thanks for the helmet btw

 

[devfuse]

Yeah, well it's LSP ready finish isn't it - no need to do any wipedowns or whatever before waxing, so it makes things easier

 

[Šįk]

Wow. Lovely car, lovely finish!

PSJ.

 

[b1lly]

top job, that's a hell of a difference

 

[Curtis!]

Awesome car, job well done.

 

[Hazza]

That looks great!

How much do u charge Russ? and where r u based? Ur work looks ace! And my paint work needs some attention.

 

[RussZS]

<£100, depends on the car and condition though really.

I'm 10 miles north of Bham

Cheers folks

 

[Hazza]

Less than £100?...
That's a great price! Or did i get the < the wrong way round?

Do we come to u, or u come to us for a price?

 

[RussZS]

My poor Megane is racking up the miles, so I tend to keep details within 30 miles or so of Wolverhampton I'm afraid

You're more than welcome to pop up here though. Oh and yep, less than £100 normally.

IF i was still with my ex then i'd sure pop over! She lives in Telford..
But will get u to get ur hands on my car one day! =) £140 maximum including petrol.... cheap!!

Wht do u do then?

 

[RussZS]

What do you mean, the process?

 

[The Boosh!]

Awesome that Russ. Proper job indeed mate!

I am going to try lime prime at some point, however I really need to know the thickness of my paint ideally

 

[RussZS]

I'd send you mine but I need it all of the time

Worth asking on DW dude, see if anyone local has one?

 

[The Boosh!]

I'm going to get a few bits resprayed first, then I will stick a thread up. I'm pretty sure there will be some enthusiast in Sheffield who will do it for beer money

 

[RussZS]

Yeah defo, at worst I'll bring it with me to FCS for you

 

[Hazza]

What do you mean, the process?

Yeah sorry, should've made it clearer.

The process, products etc

 

[Gally]

Awesome Russ, the only Scooby I could own and not feel like a chav in.

 

[clayton6]

wow that looks awsome, for that price too you can't go wrong! Would be very interested in getting a price off you once I get my bumper sprayed. Would come too you also....
