Fresh paint

I didnt see a place to do media so.... This is my wifes 02 maxima with 102k on it. I had it repainted the majestic blue that it came with. I have buffed it and am waiting the 30 days to seal it. I use Adams polishes only.

judging by the reflection that's a top notch paint job. great reflections not a signle bit of orange peel (i guess that's what distorted reflections are called right?)

I came thru with a pc and a 3 step buff. I still have a fine polish and a machine wax before its done. Its been wetsanded and all. Best part is I paid 1300 for all total. If you notice the mirror base was smoothed and matched and I had the headlight cleared also

Save your money on Adams and get the Chemical Guy equivalents. No secret they make Adam's stuff.

Paint looks really flat, much better than the typical Nissan orange peel.
