This is a good client’s car. He wanted it ‘corrected and protected’. The paint has the usual swirls, scratches, marring and scuffs. It was pretty beat up. Game plan is to get this thing looking like a black diamond and protected for the foreseeable future!

That came out fantastic. It was sad to see a car like that in that bad of shape
 
Nice job bro. Impressive, and again another fantastic job. What a pleasure it must be to be able to work on some cool vehicles!...
 
Magnificent! I have loved Lamborghinis since the Contach.
 
Did you use your scissor lift to raise the car or is that a no-no with a Lambo? Must have been fun.
 
Thanks everyone!!!! Paint was ridiculously soft. Very easy to mar.

I did not lift this vehicle---the wheels were going to come off to do them and the calipers, however they had some recent paint work and were not 'cured' yet. That will come at a later date.

You also have to be very careful lifting, and use the factory jack points or you run the risk of cracking the windshield!!!
 
Damn, Scott.

One of those "Hurts your eyes, so put on sunglasses" shines.

Incredible job. :dblthumb2:
