More American Muscle Corrected and Coated - 2011 Camaro SS

[zmcgovern45]

This week`s project was a repeat customer. We had worked on this vehicle 2 years ago when it needed an extensive correction (click here (http://attentiontodetailingpeoria.com/blog/2013/06/25/2011-chevy-camaro-paint-correction-interior-and-engine-detail) to see the previous write up). The owner wanted to have the car cleaned up again and to have a more durable layer of protection applied. Upon initial inspection we discovered severe overspray on the hood and right fender which required a considerable amount of cutting to remove. The rest of the car received a one step correction process to remove lighter swirls and enhance the gloss. The car was then topped with Americana Car Care`s Americoat acrylic paint coating for durable protection and gloss.

Some serious correction was needed on the hood to remove some severe overspray along with swirls and scratches.

Here you can see how dull the finish looked due to the overspray

After compounding we were beginning to create a much clearer reflection. This would later be further refined with a finishing polish

Spent 3 hours on the hood alone, and it finally looked as good as it should.

The sides received a one step correction process to remove the vast majority of the swirls and improve clarity and gloss

After the coating was cured with our infrared lamp, we were able to get some great pics.

Great reflections... the red paint really popped.

Beautiful! That was some nasty over spray! Curious as to how that happened. Was the car in a body shop or something?

Thanks guys!

The owner did not know how the overspray got there. In fact, he wasn`t even aware of it until I showed him.
