Wet Sanding An Entire 1984 Porsche 944 And Polishing It To Perfection!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- In this video I take on our 1984 Porsche 944 that was painted in a carport with heavy machinery paint. A match made in heaven? I would have to agree. This paint came with some absolutely insane texture so I decided to wet sand it in hopes to level it out a little bit and achieve better clarity. I started with 2000 grit hard block, followed by 3000 grit soft block. The paintwork was then cut and polished, I didn't remove as much texture as I would have liked but with further knowledge of the paint I can now say a bunch of the texture was retained in the base-coat. Over all the car went through a massive transformation and I'm happy with how it looks! Next ill tackle the interior and wheels. I hope you guys enjoy!

I can’t believe you 2 step sanded that whole car with a rid stick. There’s easily 60+ hours in this video. I use them for getting trash, not the whole car 🤯 Awesome work!
He’s got hours or colorgrading and editing too. Nuts.

Couldn’t agree more Vincent! Hope you have an awesome weekend 🙏
@@ChromaticGaragereally love your vids. The beats are dope too. About how long to complete this process?
I blocked off some time out of my schedule to watch this, your vids are too good to not pay attention to detail. You took your time to make it and in return, my undivided attention was given. Keep them coming brotha.
That is really kind Marco! I appreciate you taking the time to watch it. Thanks bro!
I got back pain just watching the video
came for the detailing..stayed for the cinematography!
Thanks buddy! Appreciate that!
bro.. please teach me your ways on sanding, polishing, and editing 🥲
Haha you keep asking imma have to come down there and get a gym membership!
@@ChromaticGarage yes prepare your money bro !!!!! :-)
The patience is crazy bro, I could never
You could bro! I believe in you 🥺
Underrated detailer
Thank you Ainul! Appreciate you!
Wow ironic when I got my 84 guards red the paint was so badly orange peeled because previous owner got screwed on his paint job I also wet sanded and polished out the entire car. Made a few videos as well and it came out amazing. Awesome video and car
There’s no way of upvoting it more. Fantastic work with the car and the edit.
I’m going to write a stern letter to TH-cam demanding a multi-mega-upvote is put in place and utilised… immediately.
Hahaha thank you bro!! Way too nice 😭😭😭
Dang nice job, wish I could get my 1997 black Boxster to look like that!
Your cinematic shots are beautiful
Well done 👏🏻 it takes skill to produce quality like this ❤️
Tolle Arbeit ! Sah aus, als ob es auch für dich wie Entspannung war.
wtf you doing this by hand ? It must have been taking you over 10 hours to sand the whole car?
I prefer it! And no😭
that is really amazing. I love it. Gooood job! I still wonder though why is it always Rupes. Is it really better than other good ones?
Using the DA for cutting? Most people jump to the rotary. I have a rotary for my first polisher and looooove it.
These DAs cut just as fast as a rotary now a days. Finish out way better too
Great job!! Great video thanks!!
Griots killed that porche paint!!!! I notice you didn't use the rupes polishes, how does the griots compare to oberk? What are your top 3 compounds? What are your top 3 polishes? Thanks again, awesome work!!!
Looks insane dude!!
Cannot imagine how many hours went into this! 👊🏼
Thank you bro!
nice work brother
Thank you dude!🙏
Man that sanding 🤯
After the polishing step, have you used some kind of eraser before applying the boost spray?
I didn’t in this case! Straight on
A master of framing is only one addition above your detailing skills. Brilliant stuff you’re creating all in all. 🔥
Thank you bro! I really appreciate that!
Great video, well edited and good Soundtrack. Any particular reason why you used such a small wet standing block on the whole car instead of a palm sized one on areas like the hood and side panels ?
I do have a question in regards to removing swirls/scratches. The compounding I did on my car was by hand but the polishing and waxing was done via rotary. I got swirls/scratches out but not as much as I wanted. What do you recommend I do next?
Cut with the rotary
Yeah man I would do the compounding but rotary and then waxing by hand! You’ll get much better results
wow, so mesmerising! watched the entire video.. ...UNDERRATED car btw.
Great work. May i ask where are those sanding blocks from? I would like too buy some. Thanks
Thanks! They are KXK Dynamics RID Stix!
car came out amazing. Music is Fire too.
the satisfaction we get from watching your videos is simply therapeutic!
Love to here it friend! Thank you!🤝🙏
The result is incredible! Fantastic work mate!
Thank you bro!!
The hard work always pays off 💪🏻 well done bud. Have you seen the new Gyeon ceramic coatings? It’s next level stuff 🥶
Thank you dude! Didn’t they just change the multilayer base coats to a single coat for the most part? Haha
Awesome transformation! There's only so much you can do with such a criminal paintjob, but it came out way better. A shame really somebody decided to ruin a 944 like that.
My thoughts exactly haha. Actually really frustrating To see but unfortunately it’s the norm with most of these 80s-90s cars we love now
I completely agree. My 944 is currently being sanded to metal in most places because of a rattle can paint job and some really poor collision repair work. Not saying a rattle can job cant be good, but this one is peeling on the whole entire top layer.
Edit: The paint job was done with most trim and parts removed. So the owner did care greatly to an extent it just wound up in a bad way.
I’m hesitant to use the wool pads cuz I’m not that experienced yet but the results they give is ridiculous man. Well done
They’re my favourite in the DA! Thanks bro!
What can I say , Chromatic back at it, that Porsche look like it was repainted, and not finished out, but bruh you brought the shine back and made the paint the way it should have been, 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper, did the trick, yea that paint didn’t lay flat when they painted , but it came out like it was just painted, The music tracks in background on point.
🤜🏽🤛🏽👏🏽👍🏽💯🔥
Question for you after sanding with 2K did you go same direction sanding with 3K ???
Thank you bro! I appreciate you checking out the video! And yes, sanding in the same direction the whole time. Sometimes I went horizontal because I was tired haha
@@ChromaticGarage thanks for tip
Perfection 👍🏽
Love it. beautiful 🤩
Thank you Danny!! Much love dude
Can’t even imagine how much time went into this and the video, awesome as always man.
Haha this one was quite tough man! I appreciate you watching!!
Absolutely love wet sanding, gives it that mirror finish
Agreed man! Way easier than just cutting
@@ChromaticGarage and safe
Ever notice that some of the ceramic coating product names would also be great names for weed!
Hahaha of course. Dispensary companies on one
Definitely the most criminally underrated detailing channel on TH-cam, it might take a while longer for the word to eventually get around but I have no doubt in my mind that this channel is destined for TH-cam greatness with a couple of million loyal subscribers all hanging out to see what you come up with next..
Special mention has to go to the most imaginative and original camera angles on TH-cam utterly brilliant work for any content provider but even more so for automotive detailing channel.
The only thing you might consider in future productions is changing up the music styles and tempo especially for the longer videos but it's all personal preference I guess..
The shot of the smartphone Playlist where you scroll and select a track before putting headphones on, I fully expected the music to change at the exact moment your finger tapped the screen 😉👌
Sup Chroma, how long do you take for the 2 steps polish?
Another amazing result !!!
Thanks for your great video.
Cheers
Thank you Cédric! The actual cutting and polishing probably only took about 12-15 hours total
Glass!
Thank you bro!
What small sand blocks are you using??
KXK rid stix
Damn! Did they include the roller and the tray at purchase? Holy texture, you must have shaved a few pounds off the curb weight on this, nice work Chromatic!
Hahaha I think this might have been finger paint. Heavy machinery base coat with automotive clear leaves an interesting result but I think it looks better? Haha thanks buddy
You are godly dude, im a video editor and detailer hobbyist myself and I'm always just blown away by the production quality of your content... always getting new ideas both in video editing and detailing from your channel. You're killing it :)
Oh man no way!! That means the most to me. Thank you so much. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Is there a reason you didn’t do a 1k sand and then the 2k to reduce how much wobble there would be in the final finish. Not judging just asking from one retailer to another. Still turned out nice 👍🏽
Hey. Is the majority of your work now dedicated to restorations... At least wet sanding and paint restoration? Or you still detail more often?
Absolutely stunning work dude. You are a true master of your craft. Love from a driveway warrior in Ireland.
Thank you George! Much love from Canada!
I've been looking forward to this all week. 😍
Hope you enjoyed it bro!!
I do loads of wet sand and polish to this level I need some videoing tips,3m products are my go to brand for polishes too,nice work dude,on fb whats ur page called?
Thanks man! I don't have Facebook
The paintjob to begin with here appears to be very poor, I would assume home made. Certainly not to Porsche standard!
Haha done in someone’s living room while watching corner gas is what I hear
Man... Fast correcting cream finish so damn well
FCC and TLC are the goats
Yeah man it’s pretty crazy! Most of the time polishing is obsolete haha
I had to pause the video half way through to clean my phone screen. That paint correction looked so smooth I couldn't see it through my greasy screen 😂🤢
Hahaha greasy screen gang. Thanks bro!
Great job 👍
how many hours did you needed for this? regards from Berlin, Germany
That’s a good question! Maybe like 25?
So much defects left, after sanding. You have to sand it much more, allot of orange peel left behind. Good job polishing sanding marks, and doin finishing step. 👍
It is heavy machinery paint base coat with automotive clear. If you looked at the texture after sanding you would acknowledge that the clear was flat. Thanks though
Prefect as usual for polishing and editing the video. Respect!
Thank you very much!
The second time I'm watching this video. Awesome video 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the support bro!!🤝🙏🙏
Put us on your Spotify playlist . iAmKwanny - “ The Destination Is On Your Right “
Imma check it out now bro!
@@ChromaticGarage 🙏🏽💜
I used to do this kind of work
One man in the shop always tell me when he walked by ( Make it shine like a (N) ass in the shower boy) 🤣🤣🤣
Wooow okay let’s never hear that again
LHR-15 with a wool pad must have taken you so long to get out the 3000 grit hand sand scratches. I have issues of it taking that long with my lhr-21 taking out 5000 grit machine scratches! I don’t like using my rupes for compounding as it’s like watching grass grow.
I like to use it when I’m having access issues, like on the middle of the roof of a car.
I do not personally find it slow. A shame you do though!
La chose la plus intéressante était de voir la retouche peinture,, elle est disparu ? Les produits employés c’est secret d’état ?
Dommage 😢
Jolie travail sinon
Haha it’s literally just the universal touch up pens that every dealership has. The dings were too big to touch up properly
What blocks do you use behind the wet sand paper please?
Amazing work! Where r u located?
Thanks Naji! In Canada!
Did you coordinate your outfit based on the color wheel? Blue shoes, golden yellow top, green pants...yellow+blue=green. That's fly.
Haha I didn’t man! Clearly you’re way ahead of it than me. Appreciate you!
you must be crazy to sand the whole car with a block smaller than a finger :DDDD
Haha lil crazy. But I had fun I promise!
That car's paint is in horrendous condition. It's as if someone took a gallon of paint and splashed it on the body panels.
Hahaha something like that
Some of your best word work I heard was done when it was wet......great job on the car, came out fabulous
Thanks Mike! Wait till you see what I can do in the dark and wet haha
Awesome video as always brother!!
Thank you Tony!! I hope all is well with you man!
awesome work , but there it looks like there is still plenty of orange peel left
cheers
Thanks! It’s retained in the base coat
always watching Porsche 944 vids cause it’s my dream car and this popped up in my recommendations. Quality content my friend, made me want this beauty even more!
Magnificent work with the incredible result! Thanks for the video! I've got new knowledges
Thank you Aleksandr! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🖤🙏
Impressive as always. What’s your Spotify name? I imagine you’d have a pretty sweet mix happening.
Thanks man! I don’t have a public Spotify playlist unfortunately😔
why dont you use rupes x-cut sanding pads with your DA, theyre great minimal scratching and not super aggressive and faster
I don’t like da sanding, I don’t believe the finish is as good
@@ChromaticGarage why wouldnt it be the disks you need to use are Rupes X-cut or Finixia they leave minimal scratching i just done my car the finish is amazing
Whoever did that repaint must have been the guy who gets called to do concours paint jobs!
I think the 944 had more orange peel than an orange.
Like pineapple peel. :))))
Haha oh man it was insane but it’s pretty common with this style of paint haha
Excellent vid sir simply the best on the tube 🔥
Thank you Jamie!!🤍🤍🤍
That’s absolut top of all!!! Mate, insane work and the result is stunning!!!!
Thank you Hansjörg!! Hope all is going well with you!
Smurf here checking in!
Cheeeers Smurf!🙏😎
How do I avoid halo grams ? Maybe slow down I’ve heard going fast is best?
DA polishers pretty much eliminate holograms all together. And an earthy compound like FCC that breaks down very slow
Amazing work as always, keep it up man
Thank you bro!😀😀
An alternative to wet sanding that is very effective, and much safer for a single stage paint is to use Comet cleaner. Wet the surface, spread the comet liberally and use a terrycloth or sponge. The abrasive action will pull away oxidization and light surface swirling. Then, use maguires #7. Liberally coat the surface and leave overnight and then rub off. Do this a couple of times. Just another approach for folks who don't want to risk wet sanding.
Never heard of this!
What's the risk in Wet Sanding? How's the abrasive paste any safer or different from 2k / 3k wet sanding if both methods achieve the first stage of paint correction?
Holly Molly, You wet sanded the whole car whit these small blocks!! Man~! You have a lot more time on Your hands then i do ! ;-)- lol! Came out Awesome and Great video as always!
Hahaha thanks man!
No alcohol prep before SiO2?
Great job and finish, just some real classy filming and soundtracks!!
Thanks buddy! And no sir, not for this
Black looks great when it is clean, trying to keep it clean is the hard part.
Haha definitely! As with most colours. Best to have one for each day of the week
Chromatic my boy you gonna make me act up 😏
Haha got you giggling or what 😭
How many cameras do you use when you film?
Just the one!
You have a crazy amount of patience to sand this by hand. I just resprayed my E36 and did most of the color sanding with a DA sander. The critical things were done by hand. But I would probably do the same if I had a nice car with original paint. How many hours do you estimate that this took you?
Thanks man! Probably 20-25. It wasn’t too bad
I still can’t believe professional detailing can restore paint to this condition , unbelievable results Well done 👍🏻 man
How much do you charge for something like this ?
I don’t really win a business so I wouldn’t know! Maybe $150 or $175?
Damn, you have a dreamshop now bro. Old viewer here, haven't stopped by in a while plus I changed my account's name to have more privacy, my PFP is still the same though, water beads at or exceeding 120* on my daily's trunk lid :) Edit: Finished the video now, excellent work my friend. I did the same with my 88' rio red Honda CRX Si after having left it abandoned in an abandoned house's garage for like 2 years. That place was full of debris and the ceiling putty and the concrete was falling apart, couldn't clay out all of it, there's one area where there's still a piece of putty bonded to the paint, as it penetrated it very deeply. Needless to say after washing, claying then sanding the whole car down with 3k and then polishing it, it came out absolutely stunning. She still looks amazing to this day and beads water like crazy. I coated her over 2 yrs ago and the beads are still craazy. I could send you pics of the transformation and some bead shots if you like :P
Haha oh man that sounds like a crazy job, I have never dealt with contracting materials like that stuff to paint ever. Can’t imagine. Thanks for watching the video buddy!🙏
@@ChromaticGarage Thanks for givin' us addicts the content ;)
Use some microphones and will it be 100% perfection! :)

@@ChromaticGarage Thx!
Finally a car guy that loves these truly pieces of art cars. The body lines, the interiors, everything is for the experience of the drive and the driver. Just turned 32 and my craving for an 87 alpine white 944T is at its all time high. The love for this car has outlasted every car I’ve had previously. Camaro,350z, wrx, sti , all were fun but none have me the goosebumps like this car does… gotta bite the bullet
The correction came out amazing. I was looking forward to see how the touch up on the door and hatch section came out, but you left us in suspense. Did you also apply the Avalon Ceramic coating as well?
Yeah apparently I always be doing that. I’m always so damn tired by the end haha. I did coat it, just the spray coating! Going to be selling it soon. Didn’t wanna to the extra mile
Looks very good and a great transformation. If possible I would remove the us/Canada bumpers. Spoil the rear end in particular
Thank you Craig! I’m just selling this cad so no need for much
I’ve been binge watching this channel this week. Great stuff, so meticulous and relaxing.
I just did the same thing to a black Mercedes wagon. I used a D/A on the larger panels and blocked the other parts.
To do this with a stick is just pure dedication or brilliant billing techniques.
Either way, stellar work as usual.
great work ! just one question, why the small sanding block for the entire car ? that must of taken forever and hurt your fingers.
Thanks! It really didn't take my longer than a longer block. You would hold it at the same angle
Question 🙋🏻♂️ how many pads did you use for this? 😬
Honestly only like 4, I just kept washing them haha
I am a Little bit late to the party, but finally got the time to watch that masterpiece! (I always try to watch your videos in one take :D) It's such a satisfying video to watch... Really appreciate the work and effort you put in to these videos! :) maybe someday we will see a "behind the scenes" or a "making of a chromatic video" video? :D
Haha and I appreciate you man! I actually think that’s a great idea for the future. Once I get another camera I think that’s something I could very easily share. Would be fun! Thanks Max!
Ayyyy cleaning up my future 944 I see?
Hahaha you want it you got it my dude!
Wow! That was a terrible respray, that I knew you would improve on, but holy crap, you made it amazing. As always, congratulations on the incredible end result. You really are a master of your craft! 👍🇨🇦
Thanks man! Done in a carport haha. Probably could have been even worse
