Title: First time buffing results
Post by: SI74 on 28 November 2010, 16:26

Had a go at buffing up the VR first attempt at doing any buffing apart from a few scrap body panels I had sitting around.. Its going for paint so wasnt that worried about messing it up. Took my time so was at it on and off the last 3 days. Well happy with the end results dont get me wrong its not perfect but it'll do for now..  C & C welcome.

First attempt at a 50/50 know its not the best but you get the idea.
