I bought a 2000 rcsb chevy! It has 168,xxx miles on it and the paint has seen its better days! I snapped a few pics before I went to work on it, but didn't get many as I was ready to get this thing done!!!!!!

I started off with a simple wash with dawn to strip the truck of all the wax (wasn't any but wanted it to be stripped of anything it might have had).




I then clayed the truck using a Big store brand Clay bar system. After clay bar was applied and the paint was smooth, it still was very cloudy. I used 3m rubbing compound, followed by 3m finess it, and toped it all with Adam's buttery wax, using a orbital polisher! I must say that the combonation of these products worked well! I will be purchasing the adams full machine polish kit for my x-mas present too




Finished........








I will have more pics up later, these are just a few of the before and afters and some of the sections to show how bad the paint was and how I corrected it!

 

i need to do this to my truck, nice improvment. as for the pos in the background. ill take it off your hands

 

Good job. Looks nice.
Black is a hard color too.

 

Nice save!!

 

Looks damn good, nice improvement.

 

Thanks guys! The paint is still not flawless but it's way better than before!!!!! As for the pos in the background, come get it.......... I need to take it to the junk yard but they won't give me anything for it ........so I just been holding on to it haha!

 

Wonder how long it's gonna take for you to swap the drive-train's of the trucks!!
Looks good! That's a 2WD right?

 

Idk prolly won't swap any of it, worst case I will buy a 5.3 and a 4l60 low mileage and return it to stock, then have all the good parts for the black truck! If I do that, the motor won't go back In as a "stock" 6.0

Prolly just drive the truck a while and have some fun with the red truck!!!!! Anyone got a tail 10 psi spring they wanna send me?

 

Looks good.

 

Damnit, I really need to learn how to detail with the buffer and whatnot. My paint is getting bad, and i need to save it soon before its too late
