Porsche 928 S4 Wet Sand....

[Nick Chapman]

Here’s a nice little project I finished last week. 1989 Porsche 928 S4. All original, 30,000 mile car. Not incredibly rare, but a nice car! Original single stage paint that the owner wanted smoothed out a bit. I let him know all the negatives of sanding original single stage paint, but he was bound and determined to get this thing as flat and smooth as he could. After some long talks, I convinced him to be happy with about a 50% reduction of the orange peel. And about a 50% reduction of the pitting on the hood and front fenders.

Total time was 30 hours, over the course of 3 days.

You must make about a buck an hour, if not less.

I was looking through the pics thinking I could never afford him.

You'd be surprised

What grit did you use. I need to do something to my single stage fox. What did you use for polish. I'm always so afraid of touching this paint thinking a compound is going to rub it all off.

Great work, Nick!
