This is a good client’s car. He wanted it ‘corrected and protected’. The paint has the usual swirls, scratches, marring and scuffs. It was pretty beat up. Game plan is to get this thing looking like a black diamond and protected for the foreseeable future!

Beautiful transformation. Amazing how such high dollar exotics are allowed to get in such bad shape.
 
Scott - your PTG readings showed some prettttyyy thin paint on one part. Where was that and is that expected on these exotics (i.e. factory induced)? Never seen you produce bad work :)
 
Thanks everyone! I`m glad they are helpful and entertaining!

grungy: Yeah, this is par for the course on a lot of these vehicles in certain areas. This happened to be on the rear wing and surrounding areas.
 
Awesome work and write up and pictures are lovely! What a jaw dropping finish you got. That Lamborghini looks like a beast. Really like the black theme on the car. Are not a fan of white lettering but this worked awesome in contrast to the cars paint. And the Italian flag color on the calipers was a nice touch.

I`m gratefull for you shareing your work on all of this exotics cars. I see why customers chose you to take care of theirs beuties. Always top results work you produce.

Thanks for shareing your work!
