2017 Chevy Camaro, SS, Black

I had a client bring in her newly purchased 2017 SS Camaro in black. It needed a paint correction and she wanted it coated.

The finish was a little banged up from the lot/dealer and did need a correction. Performed a 2 step correction and then coated the vehicle. Wheels off, calipers, wheels and all were coated.

The paint readings were good for factory paint and I found the paint to be on the soft side. It responded to my correction quite well. 2 steps and it was looking like glass!

Client is really into this new purchase and wanted to modify it a little bit. New blacked out badges front and rear were installed. They cleaned up the look from the factory gold bowties.

She spec’d the vehicle with the factory sport exhaust, and I must say that this is one great sounding factory exhaust!!! Cold start up’s can be a little startling!!! So cool!

After washing and claying...now I can see what lies beneath!













 
Looks amazing. I always look forward to your write ups.
 
Beautiful work! I really like the blacked out emblems too.
 
Rupes green and white pads & Griot’s correcting cream.
GM CC can be very hard and difficult to work with. Amazing results. So the Rupes Green did most of the heavy lifting?

Green Rupes, as in the second stack from the right?




Nice work!!!!
 
Damn!! You brought the beauty back in that black beauty! Incredible work as always!!
