I met up with the owner of this classic corvette a couple months ago. After inspecting the car it was quite apparent it needed an extensive paint correction. It had been repainted a few years ago and the finish was substantially lacking clarity and gloss. Heavy swirls, RIDS, sanding marks, DA pigtails, etc.... This car had a bit of everything.
Because the owner had multiple shows coming up he wanted it ready for them, but my schedule was heavily booked. I ended up pulling 20hr days for about a week, working on a couple other cars then coming home and putting an additional 4-7hrs/day on this over the course of 5 days. There was about 27 hours into this classic. Many hours went into finding the right combination for this car and was quite challenging and complex, so that part I will keep to myself. Feel free to ask anything else!
Last step product was Blackfire Wet Diamond with 2 coats.
Car looked great from a distance, but when you got closer you could see there was a lot to do.
Removing all the old tire dressing and restoring the white on the tires.
Some "non-factory" ghost flames. Unless you have direct light on them, they are almost invisible. The paintwork was nicely done, however the finishing was quite poor.
After compounding only. Multiple polishing steps followed afterwards.
