2006 LB S2000 (AP2) 1 step and 2 Step

[psynx]

I was contacted by a fellow member from a s2000 forum that im active in, to do a potential 1 step on the exterior paint, i quoted him blindly without looking at the car. After meeting him and looking at the car a little closer the car definitely required a 2 step. But after taking a couple measurements of the paint some areas wasnt healthy enough to compound the low Clear coat areas.

The owner was ver pleased and so was I seeing his reaction and the sincerity in his voice made this 10 hour correction job all worth it. While i was waiting for him to pick it up I worked on the interior a bit and dressed up his engine, threw it in since i was bored and had extra time lol
enjoy and thanx for watching :tipwink:
