Oakes - Detailed: 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution IX - Black Beauty

I'll warn you now, there are quite a bit of pictures!

Yet another Evo has made it's way into my garage this month, this one needing just as much help as the others, but dare I say this is the best looking one I've worked on thus far. No offense to the other guys! This is a full exterior detail on another example of Mitsubishi's quality paint department, needless to say, this great looking Evo became even more so.

I can't take full credit for this job though, I called in the help of my buddy Ryan (Seven on TST) from Allentown as I was quite in need. Sometimes you just need another buffer going at the same time! To be honest, without Ryan's help, I'd probably be still working on it haha! Enough of my babble, on to the good stuff!

Process:
Menzerna PowerGloss - yellow - front end
Menzerna PowerFinish - Orange
Menzerna SuperFinish - Green
Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant - Blue

Vehicle as it arrived, did say he was bringing it dirty haha






Wheels Before




Wheels After




After a full wash/degrease and clay bar, once dry, inspected the paint under the spotlights to find similar paint damage as the previous Tarmac Black Evo with 609hp.










As you can see, the paint was in desperate need of correction. The following photos are some progress shots, 50/50s, like night and day.










A quick shot of Ryan in action



Blackfire Wet Diamond paint sealant applied via LC Blue pads



Some paint shots after the correction, spotlight pics followed by sunlight pics













Reflection shots, I took a little extra effort in the final pics this time around


















Finished vehicle shots











Please enjoy and comment! Lot of hard work goes into these cars

Nick, it was good fun doing the collaboration on this thing and the Jetta (which I'm sure you'll get photos of up later).
I love this car btw, the wheels flow with the color very well.

I know you're referring to Nick and not me, but I'm going to say it depends which package you order - this will determine what processes are done. However I can say Nick definitely takes it time on everything he does and makes sure it's quality.

Thank you, yes every paint corrective detail I do takes as long as it takes for me to get it right. Could be a day or a few of them, I don't compromise my quality to just get it done
