New car for uber tuners @ Sharkwerks, as I have had a relationship with them since 2004 when I did quarter mile missile "Black mamba"(Silly fast 996 Turbo) which Alex did not think could ever look new again..............he was wrong(Good for him though). It has been good to see them grow as a company and NO ONE is more honest than them and as they have added staff Dan and Emily.................things are good for a company which in this economy is still producing quality.
I will miss the outgoing car and glad it went to a local Porsche nut client of thiers(Sharkwerks) but the new car is "Bada**" and with the stuff planned it will be fun to watch. The car started out with a little "Patina" and pulling the painters tape off the car was fun(Not) and with the wash rocks from New Mexico and Arizona and all points from Midwest where they purchased the car littered my wash matt(Gave one to Dan as a "Keepsake").
Here it is at the beginning......................
Rear decklid with deep marring(I would later wetsand the entire decklid due to heavt orange peel which did not match the adjacent panels).
This bug was "Digging the Gulf Blue color scheme".
Wing and wind supports were removed for the wetsand phase of the job.
Starting out with holograms.
Deep scratches as well.
Factory clearfilm was not pretty either.
A little difficult to see, but heavy orange peel needed correction.
During sanding step.
Partly compounded.
Texture now matches other panels.
Marring.
50/50 shot of the same area.
Compounded and polished.
Richie Carbone was out to help with this car, here he is doing fine tape work so we could correct marring in and around the factory graphics.
Deep scratches on the leading edge of the rear bumper.
Looking good.
