1989 IROC Convertible full correction (37 hours) - Immaculate Reflections

[GoFast908Z]

The last few months have been extremely busy, so I`m pretty backlogged on photos as I have not as much time to be on the forums as I`d like. This IROC was completed a couple months ago when the weather was still nice in CA.

The owner of this car was looking to get the paint perfect after having a full repaint done. He is restoring the car and is nearly finished, so he wanted the paint to look perfect. The bodyshop had left their usual marks that needed sorting out. The owner is a successful engineer and not your typical IROC owner. His taste in other vehicles was quite nice. This particular car had significant sentimental value to him, so it had to be done right.

Total time spent: 37 hours

-3M Trizact 1500 & 3000
-Meguiars 101, 105, 300, 205

Amazing Job Jeff!! That IROC looks fantastic, I`m not a fan of the convertible but love that year none the less.
Would love to work on one of those

Awesome work Jeff!

wow jeff, that paint was pretty swirled up to start with, but it looks great now.

That is an amazing transformation! Not all body shops turn out sh*t like that though, the one I work at would get you fired if you even attempted to let a car leave looking half as bad as it did. Great work none the less though. Keep up the awesome work, I use your pics as a guide on how I want my jobs to look

You did an amazing job Jeff! I love that body style of that year Camaro especially as a convertible. You gave the final touch to create a great repaint.
