so basically they color sanded it too much after the repair was made.

you either have to get the whole car color sanded or reclear the sections that was fixed and have them not color sand as much. A good body shop would have matched the orange peel of the newly sprayed pieces to the factory paint.
Yes, correct.

The shop offered to the do the whole car, but I'm not sure if it might create alternative long term impact - but honestly, if they mess it up worse they are on the hook for it. It's been a rough experience with the car getting repaired.

Remember they will sand down the orange peel , that means your clear coat will be thinner than factory
Yes, that is my biggest fear.



The only thing I can think - is if they do it, I can put a ceramic coating and hopefully that will help tide me over. No plans on getting PPF.

Highly suggest the PFF for the front + mirrors if you ceramic.

Ceramic will not protect against rock chips

Yes, correct.

Not exciting but, ~2400 miles on it so I changed the oil. Went with Amsoil Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil and an Amsoil filter. Will be installing some Acuity bushings tomorrow. Not doing the engine one as I want that to be OEM when it becomes subzero around here.

Winter prep:
Wrapped my hood.
On a tight budget due to pending contract renewal at work so I had to improvise. Ordered some wrap from Amazon, 3.5hrs later, some profanity and a few flying tools and she's done. Not perfect but for $40 and my first hood wrap I can't complain. Gotta touch up the edges.
CK Wraps FK7 carbon hood wrap video helped a lot. The sag from the scoop area though made it a bit of a pain.

Used a waterless wash on it for the first time, last night. Pretty happy with the results but it makes me nervous about scratches.

Discovered a healthy dose of rock chips on the front end. I've had to daily it for the last couple of weeks and its really murdered the paint. :cry:
Oh yeah, knocked over a bike onto the back hatch and put a small dent and spiderweb in the clear coat. No one will see it but me, but :doh:.

All in all, probably should've left it dirty.

Rerouted the Radium PCV catch can hoses to the correct locations.

The correct hose locations make it easier to unscrew the catch can to drain it. PCV catch can is definitely trapping oil. Wish I had gotten this earlier.

Have not caught anything in the CCV catch can so far. Thinking the CCV can is more of a nice to have mod...as opposed to the PCV catch can mod.
