    Saving a Ferrari From The Paint Shop!

    This Ferrari literally had a date set to be at the paint shop, and after talking with the owner, he agreed to let us have a crack at it before he committed to painting it. My sales pitch was nothing more than expressing how much more the car would be worth with original paint vs. a repaint. I expressed the potential problems affiliated with a repaint if the shop didn’t do it correctly. And the kicker, if he wasn’t happy with the end result, he didn’t have to pay me. So I had to make it as perfect as possible!


    Process:
    M105 rotary with PFW
    M205 rotary with Meguiar’s yellow
    PO85RD rotary with Lake Country red
    Topped with Wolfgang Fuzion

    Top was cleaned with APC+ and magic eraser then treated with 5 coats of Meguiar’s All Season Dressing.

    Tires, wheel wells and engine was cleaned with APC+ then treated with 2 coats of Hyper Dressing.

                      I wouldn't have paid you

                      Wow Nick, I cringed when I saw the before photo of the roof.

                      ***** that's not a swear, you get 5 stars bro and some rep points.

                      I'm so glad that you could save the original paint and roof. I bet the owner is still doing the happy dance, I'm sure the car is much happier too... it's gleaming!

                            Great job Nick. I bet the owner was so glad he decided to hand the car over to you to work on before it was re-painted. He probably saved a few bucks too.
