Preview pics of Ferrari 16M correction

Another quality job completed by the "Mario Bros" lol, Ferrari makes a wonderful car but they should sub their paintwork to a German company...... seriously.

Almost new car with the Ferrari laundry list of problems such as ..... Pigtail sanding scratches, holograms and general awful new car paint condition.

Here is the initial pics of the car

Thorough wash/clay







Finish with heavy compound holograms



Decklid



The camera is not picking up the pigtail scratches...... but they are there and Ferrari or the dealership tried to buff them out and well lets just say...... they didn't







Look for the full write up soon as when completed the car has to stay put until the rain stops and I can get SUN pics which are mandatory in this case.

Isn't Ferrari paint supposed to look like that? Now a Ferrari with real showroom condition paint...THAT would be shocking!

The car is in good hands Bob, and I'm sure you'll finish it in the manner it deserves.

Ferrari 16M correction

Allright finished the job............... over 37 hours with some help by Tony Ito and Mark Zamzow, the car came out beautiful and I was pleased with the results of some VERY hard labor.

Holograms on rear driver fender



After a few initial hits with Megs 105



Some areas needed wet sanding to level the deep RIDS



Corrected



Blurry pic(sorry) of factory sanding scratches left just for me



Compounded and levelled



Small amount of factory sand scratches...... but "COME ON FERRARI SHAKE YOURSELF"!!! $325,000 dollar car delivered like this?



All better............



More evidence of the scene of the Paint finish crime



Corrected



Marring on the engine cover



Compounded & corrected



Sometimes the "view" from the office is very nice



Correcting the finish behind the seats



Tony Ito came by to help a little



Constructors championship F-1 badge



LED pic showing correction



Correction of exhaust can
