2003 Chevrolet Silverado with about 40,000 miles. Customer wanted full detail as the truck had recently acquired some nice scratches running the length of the bed from loading/unloading materials. The majority of the paint was swirled, but really was in excellent condition for its age. The wheels and tires needed no extra attention, and most of the plastic was in good shape except for the mirror housings. I really wish I would've spent more time taking pictures both before, during, and after; but this was a huge truck and temperatures were high that day. Total time for entire truck in and out was about 12 hours.
AFTERS:
The big girl's back in black. The paint finished out realllly nicely, I like when I scan with the Brinkmann light and the finish is milky smooth. Beautiful!
Thanks for looking!
