A couple of hours and half a pack of cigs with a buffer and my CB7 beater looks like this:
Lets face it, my Accord's stock paint looks pretty beat up...Roof and trunk peeling. Hood all chipped up from 14 years and 210,000 miles of freeways did its toll on the poor car...I had lot of time to kill yesterday so i hit it with a buffer and wax to see how it would look...I was floored by the results....She looks good enuff now that i think i will put the color change off for a while and just have my painter spray the hood, roof, trunk, and moldings for the time being..I didnt think that old paint still had shine left in it...
