    Outstanding write up.

    It is a shame that a brand new car comes with that poor of a paint job.
    You should see the orange peel on all the Porsche's rolling out of Stuttgart. All of them have it from the Carrera GT to the base model Cayennes. Makes me nauseas to think about it.

    This Cobra looks great! I love that color, too.

        Fantastic transformation, Joe.

        Right when the owner thought he/ she has to leave with this horrible orange peel Superior Shine came to the rescue.

        Amazing technique on sanding. You left the vehicle with enough clear coat for its lifetime.

        Great tips on 3" disc hand use in super tight spaces.

          Good golly, Joe, we knew you were talented, but this is just amazing. Truly a fantastic write-up with some great tips for taking on a job like this - something definitely NOT for a newbie or the faint of heart! But your final results - simply outstanding.

            Great write up. The end result is above amazing. The before and after side by side photos really shows how bad that paint was. Thanks for sharing!

              Awesome job as always, Joe.

              From the amount of clear removed, I assume that the Cobra was repainted?

                  Those reflection shots are beautiful. Too bad cars come with so much orange peel.

                      I hope that your customer appreciates that his car is now the best it will ever be, and that all your years of work have culminated in such fine results, and knowing you, you undercharged for your work. The level of skill and professionalism you bring to everything you do is worth much more than you will ever charge. In our shops when we take a car to that level the customer can expect to invest $5,000 and up. Most people do not appreciate all the effort required to get paint to such perfection, without causing any harm to it, anyone can wet sand an polish and make it look OK, but to do so while protecting the integrity of the surface, and attaining the closest thing to perfection this side of heaven, makes you a true master of your craft.

                      You have one lucky apprentice....he's learning from the BEST!
