Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Today I polished the repainted intake duct for my friend's Legacy.

It's paint had been destroyed by strong sunlight and UV rays. Paints on plastic parts seem to be damaged more quickly than metal parts.

I usually don't use nitrocellulose paints like Holts or Soft99. I always order paint from a shop that mixes paint for cars. They mix colors based on color codes.

I painted it two weeks ago, so it's hard enough. Sand with fine sandpaper and then polish with compound. It's a job that requires patience.
