So I traded in my RSX Type S for a used 2004 OB Coupe back in Sept. Drove down to Savannah, GA from Charlotte, NC to pick her up. I spent about 6 hours there juggling phone calls between my Credit Union and the used car place. ( Learned my lesson there )...

Now that I've finally got time to work on my little G35 project, I figured I'd get started on the paint..

Will I be able to fix most of my issues with a hard core detail job? ( Take in mind I'm a detail newb, so there will be lots of research and learning to do this.. )

few of those scratches look like they're deep into the primer, in that case, any hard core detailing won't help since the paint is gone already. the other ones look kinda deep too, you could try detailing it but I don't think you can get rid of all those scratches.

 

I agree. Those are too deep to remove by detailing. You can try to find a touch up specialist. Either way, you need to get some paint over those scratches and chips or it will rust. Good luck.
