Earlier in the year the "Speed Chanel" taped a segment of this Ferrari against a Porsche GT3RS(Sharkwerks 3.9 GT3RS) @ Beal Airforce base north of Sacramento with Tanner Foust driving the Porsche and Paul tracy driving the "Blue mediterrano" Ferrari F-430 which is modified with software(Evosit) Fabspeed headers & exhaust.

During the 3 day shoot as this Ferrai did NOT have clearfilm to protect it(like the Porsche) it was chipped up pretty good as exspected. The car also now has Factory Scuderia wheels/front bumper/carbon side skirts.



Another painter other than the one I use re-sprayed the front trunk cover/quarters and bumper.........it did not go well and my shop re-sprayed the front bumper as there was too much to deal with, I was however able to fix the rest(re-wetsand /correct) the finish.



Re-spray aftermath.

Car came back to me from Premier, as there were no headlights/rear diffuser/ wheel wells I sprayed the car down with my "Low pressure washer".

Stunning work again Bob. I didn't realize Ferraris came in any other color than rosso corso. That blue looks amazing, I hadn't seen that one yet.
 
You mean you actually had to do some work on a Ferrari for once? ;)



More great work Bob. Can't even imagine what you have next...
 
Those are bad *** machines! I just recently did a wash and quick wax on one about a month ago, it was silver though. But you did an amazing job with that car!! One question, you didn't have the stripes on when it went to premier, did you just have them apply the stripes?
