2008 Dodge Viper ACR Full Paint Correction

The car was covered in swirls, holograms and overspray.

It was going to be entered in The Cars For The Cure Show the following day so I had to get it done no matter what.

This was an amazing car to work on. I started at 7:00 AM and finished up at 1:00 AM the following morning.

The car took Best in Class and Judges Choice awards.

LSP is Paul Dalton's Crystal Rock.

Before:



7:00 AM... and yes that is frost on the lawn, it was 30 deg F. It does get cold here in FL.

The hose was frozen solid as well until the sun came up.:crasy:










Bath time.




This is what I found after the wash.














Wing after polishing.



Afters:






Pics taken at 1:00 AM

Re: 2008 Dodge Viper ACR Full Paint Correction

Looks great! What was your polishing process? How long has he had the car for? The black ACR I did looked just as bad in the before shots. Saleen does a nice job on the paint and wetsand, but a poor job of polishing after. How many areas on yours still had pigtails?

Re: 2008 Dodge Viper ACR Full Paint Correction

I get the feeling your customer likes Vipers..... another great correction on some American muscle.
