Re: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT - Paint to Sample Gulf Blue

The car looks great! Well done on really taking of the customer and the car. I was just as surprised as you to see all the swirl marks and halograms. Must have been a little nerve recking working with the only car with that color. But very well done.

Re: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT - Paint to Sample Gulf Blue

Hey, those roof panels come off? And what was that little door you opened in one of the last pics, of the driver's door?

Thanks for sharing, great car, cool hangar, quite the experience!

Re: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT - Paint to Sample Gulf Blue

I have a dumb question, why did you use such a small backing plate with the blue pad?

Re: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT - Paint to Sample Gulf Blue

What an honor to work on such an absolute stunner. The detail work and most of all, the paint are worked to perfection!

Why is the owner selling such a unique vehicle after so few miles?

Re: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT - Paint to Sample Gulf Blue

I read about this car in another forum today, not the detail just the car.
That is one amazing looking car. Don't know if I like the interior color with the ext. but I LOVE the exterior color. Gorgeous.
Your work was phenomenal. Just amazing, nice job

Re: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT - Paint to Sample Gulf Blue

GREAT WORK ON AN AMAZING PEICE OF MACHINERY! My father owned a 356 speedster that was modeled after the gulf race car. Ours was the exact same color scheme. The car was owned and sold to my father by miles colier. That is why i thought this might be his car.

I would LOVE to work on a car like that one day. This is why i am planning on moving down to florida after High school. To work on cars like this... and also for the warm climate.

,Daniel

AGAIN AMAZING JOB!
