Detailing for the Obsessive....

Postby The X » Thu Jan 21, 2010 12:25 am

This guy documents the 3 weeks he spends on detailing and modding his new Vauxhaul Astra Vxr Nurburgring Edition.
I don't think I'd ever be _this_ enthusiastic. But it's an interesting read on the various amounts of detailing one can do on a car.

OK, this is a bit of an epic, and a warning for those on slow internet connections....

Edit: typo'd "3 months" instead of "3 weeks"

I think it's somewhat both...dedication is one thing, but OCD is what was needed for those extreme details...

Haha try for 51 layers!

"Now the time has moved on quite a bit because i have been applying 3 layers per day since the 29th of May when i originally finished the correction....

My goal is 51 layers which i knew would take approximately 3 weeks being done correctly..."

That is just sad... there is no way a car needs that many layers.... Just think of how much it would cost!!

Actually he's referring to the blob of paint (which has been magnified a gazillion times) and gets all circumspect and let's it slide. LOLz. Yes, i caught up on a lot of reading last night. ROFL.
