AWESOME!! thanks for posting

Someone has clearly spent a fair bit of time on the editing - makes me wonder if this was on TV at some point?

the technique for painting the wood plant is pretty interesting and effective.

Very good, obviously he builds for a living? You would love to be working in the same room as him, breathing in the fumes all day long.....lol

I like his technique for simulating carbon fibre, what color do you think he was spraying to achieve that effect?

what color do you think he was spraying to achieve that effect?

looks like clear, so it should be wether clear plus some silver/grey, or silver so it camouflates with the metal of a/brush...

I understood four words...Carbon, suspension, Ferrari, GP1

Still, nice to see the pros use the same techniques we do.

One interesting part is that he starts the polishing after Finisher's GP1 clear coat is on. At the time he applied decal, paint still has orange peel texture.. But overall end result is still exceptional.. Interesting technique and I think it saves a lot of time too..

that' how I do it also...ignore the orangepeel until the last layer and then sand it back and start polishing. The oly time I sand between layers is when the decals are very thick, then I try to level the clear and decals a bit so the decals are invisible after final polishing.
