Default Buffing the bu and a turbo hood too!
Finally getting back to my Malibu project. Painted about a year and a half ago and I color sanded it then, but never had time to buff out the paint. Well, this is the week to make it shine!

No fancy paint job. Just a single stage PPG backyard deal.

I put a Buick Turbo Regal hood on it just because I thought it would look good and it was a challenge to see if it could be done.

The hood looks great John. But what about the rest of the car? Giving us a hood only shot is just a tease!
