Battle of the "Supercars" Ferrari F-430/Detail
Earlier in the year the "Speed Chanel" taped a segment of this Ferrari against a Porsche GT3RS(Sharkwerks 3.9 GT3RS) @ Beal Airforce base north of Sacramento with Tanner Foust driving the Porsche and Paul tracy driving the "Blue mediterrano" Ferrari F-430 which is modified with software(Evosit) Fabspeed headers & exhaust.
During the 3 day shoot as this Ferrai did NOT have clearfilm to protect it(like the Porsche) it was chipped up pretty good as exspected. The car also now has Factory Scuderia wheels/front bumper/carbon side skirts.
Another painter other than the one I use re-sprayed the front trunk cover/quarters and bumper.........it did not go well and my shop re-sprayed the front bumper as there was too much to deal with, I was however able to fix the rest(re-wetsand /correct) the finish.
Re-spray aftermath.
Sanding marks.
Oh no........
Levelling the finish.
A slight improvement:gasp:
Look at the sand scratches on the quarter panel.....
Finished down, and ready to go to Premier for the wrap(so this does not happen again lol).

Ferrari Detail Cont...
Car came back to me from Premier, as there were no headlights/rear diffuser/ wheel wells I sprayed the car down with my "Low pressure washer".
Spent some time correcting, but not many pics as I am booked tight right now.
Check out the new scud skirts, with a 50/50 split of paint and exposed carbon.
Sun pics.
Customer had the factory windshield washer ports filled in....the look is much smoother.
