Paint came out gorgeous! Never knew the Stingrays had such a competive 0-60 time. I always figured it was around 4.5 seconds. Great work as always!

^^^Thank you Bresse! I was surprised as well...these new cars are just pretty darn quick!!!
 
Nice one Scott! :props:

Geeze, it don’t half look stunning in Red! Weirdly enough, I cannot recall seeing a Red one before.
Superb workmanship as usual, great write up & super pictures.

Thank you for sharing mate. :props:

Dang bro. Check your driveway for paint that dripped off that wet vette. Sweet work as always bro.

The corvette came out looking beautiful! I know production paint is not that thick but I thought it would be better than 3.2 mils! That is GM's halo car not a Camaro at only 3.2 mils! I was thinking 4-5 mils.

^^^LOL! Thanks pilot! Better not let him hear ya say that!
 
Damn, don't know how I missed this one.......

You are incredible, Scott. Another great job on a real beauty! :dblthumb2:
 
Thanks Paul!!!

Ah, lol, pilot! I bet, red vette's are very popular!
 
Hey Scott, any feedback on the mckee fast interior cleaner vs carpro inside? Is the mckee fic strong enough for semi trashed leather but safe enough that it wont leave stain etching if sprayed on surface?

I have not used the CarPro product so I can't compare them. It is more for a quick cleanup than for use on leather that is beat up. I have never had any issues with it staining and I have used it directly on leather surfaces. Hope this helps!
