Reflections Detailing: 2005 Ford GT

Greg Nichols · 08-24-09, 12:20

Well Reflections Detailing of Utah was called do some plastic surgery on a clients Ford GT. A long time client wanted his GT all pretty for the local car show, but just wanted the blue stripe done. When I showed up and could see the whole car needed the love only I could give her. He agreed and was amazed how the white turned out later. This car is a beast to drive and almost equally so to detail, all the nooks and crannies.....

Process:
CWG
Claying
SIP PFW in places
106fa white
UF 3M blue
Rotary using the zenith method
IPA wipedowns
Leatherique
ONR

Befores:

Afters:

I know I did not give you a detailed play by play of the work, but you get the general idea of the work needed and the workmanship on the end.

Cheers,
GREG

Very nice !

Is the blue stripe actual paint or a vinyl decal ?

On all the GTs I've worked on the stripe was a decal.

The paint looks really nice in the after shots Greg.

Jesse, Ya.........the car makes the logo look good........lol For those that want to know Jesse designed my logo and web page....did a great job in my opinion!

No the owner did not take me for a ride, but I got to drive it myself. The Power curve is unreal!

If it was a decal it was under the clear.

Thanks for the complement, it just glowed. Very nice paint to work with.

Great job on an incredible modern day muscle car. I love the color combo!

Car looks great!

For reference purposes; painted stripes were an OPTION on the GT's. So it will vary car to car.

Obviously; these were painted...which they all should have been anyway if you chose to have the stripes.

Cool, good to know. I've done a dozen of them and they've all been decals. I didn't even realize you could option them for paint. Now I know!
