Porsche 911 Turbo (930) Martini Special Edition

That is some crazy factory paint orange peel. It looks like it's a really bad repaint. You can still see it clearly through the stickers in the after shoots. I would have \thrown in the towel when I saw all that mess. Great job and hope you were payed well.

Yeah. The orange peel was really bad. The owner suspects that it was because of a hydraulic leak from his hydraulic car jack in his house but it does look more like a paint problem as it only affected both door panels.
 
Wow! Excellent work bro!







That paint was horrendous though! I wouldn't even call that orange peel...more like a water fall effect using paint runs! You did an amazing job at making the best of what you had to work with. As Joe from Superior Shine would say "MAXIMUM POTENTIAL !!!!"



I can't say I've ever seen such poor paint work on a car before though...especially a Porsche!

Great work ! Definitely a tiring detail. The paint was in horrendous condition. I would be scarred to wetsand bubbling paint like that. But your process with keeping the client up to date is great customer service. Thanks for taking the time to write this up.



Thumbs up for a fellow Malaysian !
 
Wow, now thats some impressive work! I dont know if i've ever seen such a bad paint job before, but you definitely made a huge difference. Was the paint CC or SS?

DRT, I've checked and the original paint is supposed to be SS (Porsche Grand Prix White) but I didn't get any paint transfer on my pads so it must be CC. I did try to confirm this with the owner but he can't recall if the car has been painted.
 
Superb work!



First ride in a 1984 930 turbo almost killed me... boy that turbo spools up from hell!

Thanks dsms. Appreciate the compliment. Hope to achieve your level of work one day. :)



Yeah man. The 930 Turbo was pretty quick. All of a sudden the power just kicks in and it flies. Must have been mind blowing in the 80's.
 
what a turn around. No doubt that took a lot of patience and dedication, and it surely paid off nicely. I hope the owner appreciates all your poured into this one!
 
The bubbling of the paint almost looks like they painted over rust/oxidation. That's what it looked like on a car I had once where the previous owner painted over a rusted quarter panel!



Nice turn around!
