ammo hanging with my f355

Watched half way through. Not sure if he knows 95 355's are one-stage paint as opposed to conventional 2 stage paint w/ base coat + clear. He refers to Ferraris having soft or hard paint.

 

Your car looks amazing!! Have the seats been recovered with new leather (looks like they have?)

I like this guy but yes, 95's with solid paint are single stage and if you have a clear coat, you don't get color on the pad so his comment about the clear is totally wrong - that is exactly how the single stage buffs.

Also, to anyone that does not know: These single stage cars do NOT have much material on them and many times the car may have been buffed prior. I hope he paint metered before he started. And single stage can bite you with no warning!!

Regarding hard or soft - the single stage is soft for sure and cuts very easy.

With the thin paint on these, I recommend not trying to remove all the (deep) scratches as too much material is removed.

On my 95 I plan to send for a bare metal respray, the plan is to add the most paint possible (that makes sense) and also paint meter the car before the paint goes down to know how much is paint vs. primer for future polishing.

 

Dave. Do you plain on keeping it a single-stage paint for the new paint job?

 

That is still to be decided buy, yes, I'm leaning that way for originality.

 

There seems to be confusion in the comment section of that youtube clip. A few seem to not understand why paint is coming off. This should be further clarified.

 

I'd definitely go with the one stage but as you said... lay on the paint thick. Will need it for sanding out orange peel and polishing. I would consider a clear bra or glass coat to minimize polishing cycles.

 

Material, clear coat, or single stage will always be removed....

 

The posters are not understanding why color is being removed and going onto to the pad. If someone responsible for posting the video can explain this is one stage paint, confusion should be cleared up.

 

Johann is the best!! He is doing my leather right now Your stitching looks to be a match to the leather and the OEM is a slight more gold in color - ask Johann how nuts I drove him with this detail He is a great guy and provides great customer service. He worked hard to find the perfect stitching for me

I posted a comment to the video, Ken
