As the title states, this car had a little "Overspray" problem that the owner experienced while he was stationed overseas in the Navy. As he is a hard working sailor in the Naval Special Warfare Community I did my best to take care of him as I am prior "Blackshoe" Navy who rode Grey ships and his job is a LITTLE harder than that and he deserves a little something coming home as guys that do what he does do not get the pay or kudos they should.



Richie aka "The Bing" helped on this job, here is the initial pics of the overspray which in later pics you will see reached every possible crevice.

Conventional clay works great, but this is where the surface prep towel shines................ working sharp edges like the thin OE spoiler.

We finished the car late into the evening before the delivery next morning early, so it was a scramble to snap a few sun pics across the street where there was a sliver of sun poking thru.

There isn't a worse finish you can get overspray on. Dealt with a jet black 335 twice with severe overspray the first time, less so the second time so I know how hard y'all worked on that car. Great job!
 
Hats off to you guys! Overspray and that black BMW paint are the gruesome twosome if there ever was one. I'm sure the owner was amazed by the recovery.
