993USMC

Hi all,
Well, I took a leap of faith and decided to refinish a set of wheels. While I was in Iraq I had purchased (on this forum) a set of fairly thrashed turbo-twists and had them delivered back home so they would be waiting for me.

Here's the worst of them...




After gobbing the epoxy on...I knew I was past the point of no return...but, how bad could it be, right?
-Here's the mid-way shot, after sanding:

I could have done a better job with the finishing....and I tried a Dremel midway that only made matters worse.
So here's the result, after some rubbing compound and polish!




I then clayed, polished and did the P21-S thing....using a PC orbital buffer. I'm pretty pleased with the results.



I have also recently added the HID lights, the FisterD modded mufflers and the sport exhaust tips. I love this car!
Of course, the suspension is next.

I will probably be selling a perfect set of 17" Cups with great tires shortly!

Thanks to all of the brave DIYers whose instructions I followed

Looks good and you can't beat P21S on red.

I used the wurth touch up kit from classic motoring. I applied 4 coats of clear and a good amount of polish in order to give it a good shine.

Thanks for all of the compliments!

Nice job. For some reason the DIY jobs we do on our 993s is so rewarding.

Looks good! What paint did you use?

I picked up a "perfect" 996 TT wheels only to find out both rears are missing a bunch of clear coat!

Car looks great. Going to look even better when you lower it.
