I think he tries to get the paint supersmooth. So that after polishing it it has that wetlook on the paint.

Why are you sanding it down? How bad was the paint?
Actually I drove it today :rofl:

The paint was better than oem, but when sanding you can get that little orangepeel much smoother.

I hadn't seen this thread before today and it was only yesterday that I was thinking 'how awesome would a Z4C look in grey?!'
It looks absolutely brilliant.

Gorgeous motor.

Pretty much exactly what I'd have done to mine, if I wasn't poorer than Oliver Twist at the moment!

Fabulous work!!

I think what I like most about this is the fact you've been so thorough with it and really kept to a theme. I especially like the paint code sticker, such a cool little detail!

Looks really nice in that last pic too 8) 8)

Love the red/black, always loved seat belts that match the colour of the car and aren't just the usual black belts although I know some hate coloured belts.
