This client was a referral. He contacted me a few months ago and scheduled a paint correction/coating.

This vehicle, although white, was not hiding anything! It was full of swirls and some scratches. The paint readings I received were less than stellar and I had to be on the conservative side with my approach to the correction. The paint was also the typical rock hard GM clear.

It took some time to get the combo it liked dialed in. But I found out what worked the best for me.

This vette came out glossy!! The gloss was really amped up!

Thank you for looking!




























 
Another home run, Scott!!

I still can't get enough pics of your garage either. SO cool........:dblthumb2:
 
The work speaks for itself as usual but just being a little OCD here, I'm sure everyone understands this but those centercaps need to line up with something on the wheels on all 4 wheels, like the CORVETTE that's engraved into the lip and while I'm at it, what does CARBON have to do with this car???
 
Nice! Beautiful work. I learn a lot from you, Doctor. Bronze wool? I just had some stubborn exhaust tips the other day.

As always, Scott, thank you for sharing your work and the desciptive lists of materials used.
 
white with red. my dream combo. the level of detail you went to is amazing. nice work.
 
Paulie, yep, it's pretty 'gentle' for a steel wool type material, but can help on really beat up exhausts.

Belo, I call it 'the power combo'! Love that color combo!
