Just finished, this Carrera had a total re- spray and the paint job was good but the sanding and finishing were not. The finish had deep tracers due to dry sanding paper and lack of experience and/or time to do the job right, so many hours went into the detail and at the end the car came out fantastic!!



Initial correction/defects pics.

Nice job as always. Shame the body shop dropped the ball on finishing the car out properly but their screw ups are our work.
