Envious Detailing: 2008 GTR Paint Correction DONE

Had a little fun the other day (sarcasm implied). Of all the rumors I have heard about the infamous GTR black paint, I never really believed it until I got my hands on one. I have done different color GTRs, but never a black one. Let me tell you, its got to be one of the best and worst paints out there...super hard to finish down, yet corrects rather easily! Weird, I know!

At first glance, I could tell from the start it was going to be a long day even though the owner didnt think it would be as bad as his supra i did for him a couple years ago...definitely wrong on that one! This car took me 12 hours to get it to its current condition. I could have easily spent more time on it, but it was a HUGE turn around.

yeah he bought it used...dont think the previous owner ever cared for it! This guy washes his own cars though, so thats good! Especially with the soft black paint on this car!
 
Good stuff Eric...................no should be allowed to have a "Black GTR" as they are the suckness to work on, I charge BIG to do these cars and if you do heavy rotary compounding............................3 day job minimum.
 
Funny, you say this....I just talked to Jimmi and he is hating life on the one he is working on right now!!!! I hated this one as well so I know his pain...lol
