2010 Bmw Z4 Deep Sea Blue Paint Correction (Must see paint color!)

A couple months back sinnet112 got in touch with me after a body shop repainted his bumper and hacked up the paint on it, along with the rest of the car, although it was not as severe. Needless to say the bumper looked very dull and the swirls were also visible on the rest of the car under lighting as well, although it was a bit difficult to capture them in the pictures.



Exterior:
Citrus Wash and Clear
Detailed Image Clay
Megs ASD
Megs Hyperdressing
Optimum Optiseal
Optimum Car Wax on jambs


Polishing:
Porter Cable XP/Makita Rotary
Meguiar's M105 With DD Yellow Pad
Meguiar's M205 with Green Pad


Wheels:
CG Sticky Wheel Gel
Megs Super Degreaser to clean tires
Optimum Car Wax
Megs Dressing

Exhaust Tips:
Optimum Metal Polish and 000 Ultra Fine Steel Wool



Before:

















Here the fenders are finished and the bumper is untouched to show the difference in the finish.

After, this Deep Sea Blue paint is hands down one of the most beautiful paints I have seen on a factory painted BMW.

Absolutely beautiful. I am a fan of LeMans Blue and didn't realize there was a "Deep Sea" blue as well. This is gorgeous and you made nice work of it.

Thanks guys! Lemans Blue is beautiful as well, but I really love the green flake under certain lighting that Deep Sea Blue shows.

awesome turn around

I like the closeups of the paint color, very hot color for sure. But from far its just a dark blue car to me, not my thing at all
