This car came to me via my local car club. Many thanks to Drew for referring his uncle to me. He'd never had a detail of this caliber and was a little skeptical of the cost and time involved, but as he had just had the Z06 rear fender kit installed and the body shop and just couldn't finish it down he decided it was time for a more serious treatment. Day started off early (before the sun came up) to get to his location as it was a long drive. There was heavy orangepeel on the bumper that he requested be removed and that added some time....it was a long 2 days on this gorgeous corvette. In the end, he was very pleased.

Car was clean, but the sun was hiding....but the halogens and LEDs would expose the issues later.
The "Turbo S" will be getting a similar treatment in the near future too.
Onto the things that "stumped" the bodyshop and they just couldn't fix.....
I guess they thought sanding on the edges was a good thing? *shakes head*
Initial test 50/50
Onto the orangepeel.....
Looking ship shape and proper as it should
Other side needed it as well, of course.
Looking proper
Around the flags needed attention as well so light wetsanding was carried out there as well.
After correction was finished on day 2, pics taken in the sun to show the correction. Had to fight for sun shots as the weather wasn't very cooperative in the Bay Area these couple days.
