Junkman Attacks Some Paint Damage at Camaro5 Fest!
First off, I want to say that you Camaro5 guys and gals are some of the most hospitable folks I have ever met at a car show. I am truly impressed with your cars and modifications, as well as your passion for your rides. I hope that this is an event that will go on for years, and that you all will continue to have me. You guys rock!
 With that said, I had to put on my hard hat and "get busy" with some paint issues while at the fest. The best one that I got to deal with was CaniacFan's ride because she gave me a big ol' kiss for fixing her car! I wanted to scratch it up again so I could get another one!   Here's some pics from her ride:  But hey, that was a walk in the park!   Now my rental car was a different story! Check this out! The Specimen...  As for the car in question, here's the deal. Someone had scratched this car from the front fender all the way to the back of the rear door. The scratch was relatively deep. To make matters worse, they use blobs of touch-up paint to attempt to fix the scratch. After seeing how much worse the touch-up paint looked, they attempted to wipe the touch up paint off the car, That did nothing but smear the paint everywhere. The final dagger was when they parked the car with the paint still wet in what appeared to be a sand storm. Here's what the car looked like after I finally noticed it (I didn't notice this when I picked up the car because it was overcast).     Okay, let's get this party started!      These action shots are courtesy of John at The Shutter Group. They do event photography. Notice my buffing face!    ... and now for the finished product!       She's back to her original beauty.  The Junkman

 I used Adam's Swirl & Haze Remover along with their Fine Machine Polish.

I was just gonna say, you should have charged the rental company for fixing their "scratch". Great job, Junkman!

Humm, might have to figure out something to do for Junkman to get him to come down maybe once every year and clean up Bee Bee.
