2011 Porsche GT3RS Film Wrap Prep & Detail

New vehicle in for prep for the entire car to be wrapped in Satin film by Premier, this particular client understood the importance of prepping all painted surfaces before the installation.

The beginning of the job, removing the factory graphics(Which premier would replace as the customer wanted the graphic glossy red like the wheels and mirrors, as the satin wrap would diffuse the gloss).




Even as a brand new car there was contamination.




Sand scratches on the carbon wing.




Scratches removed.




Bird dropping etch damage.




Lightly sanded, then corrected.




Holograms on the wing blades.




Finish corrected.




Fine polishing with Griots machine and crimson pad.




Inspecting the finish.




Finish is ready for wrap installation.










Brought to Premier.




Installation of the entire surface with the satin wrap.

Back at my shop for the finish detailing.




Engine was not dirty hardly, but needed a wipedown and dressing to be "As new".







Interior cleaned.







This pic shows the satin finish well, with the graphic glossy as the client wanted.









All finished, a incredible car as stock........but now wearing a full satin wrap and Sharkwerks mods, such as bypass/flash software. Ready for track duty!!.

Looks great! I really like the matte body with the gloss extras (decals, wheels, mirrors etc). Nice work.

why the need to correct those minor scratches only visible under the right lighting if you're gonna cover it with a satin wrap?

Because they will probably be visible under the wrap. I would want my car corrected/perfected before being wrapped.

When wrapping the car, correcting the paint is always a good idea. At least removing all silicons/wax and clay for a smooth install of the film.

The owner of this GT3RS is dicerning, and wanted the car right from the start and most dealerships do not deliver the car in a proper "As new state", because it only costs a little more to go firstclass as opposed to coach.......(lol).

God I love that Satin wrap! I'd planned on wrapping my car with it before the clutch went out. Time to start saving again .

Great work guys!

What is the maintenance like with the wrap on? How do you clean or take care of it when it gets dirty? Normal car care equipment?
