2007 Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Giallo Orion by Richie's Custom Detailing
 

This beautful LP 640 belongs to a very good long time client. He picked it up a few months ago and decided it was time for a full paint correction.

He wanted it dialed in for our local Cars and Coffee this past Saturday.

I pulled out all the stops which meant an all nighter since I was unable to start on this car until the day before.

I washed the car the night before so I could have as much time as possible for the correction.

I started the correction process at 8:00am Friday and finished 6:00am Saturday.


When I arrived Thursday evening:

Made it a little easier to clean the front wheel wells:

Sorry for the lack of wash pics, I was losing sunlight fast.

These are some of the defects I was able to capture, all parts of the car was covered in DA sand scratches, holograms and RIDS:

Tail lights were not immune to abuse:

The black plastic trim pieces and mirror housings were hammered as well. You will notice in the first picture someone has already burned the edge, in the end they finished out nicely.

Cars & Coffee:

I also drove my clients 2001 Viper out there as a favor. I detailed this car six months ago but due to a busy schedule I did not have enough time to snap enough pics for a full write up.

Didn't look too bad for a six month old detail.

It's not easy to focus a camera when driving a 700HP Viper down the highway.

In the end it was a long day but it was well worth it.

As always, thanks for looking.

Very nice Richie

How much does a job like this costs?

Thanks Sully!

The cost for this type of paint correction is dictated by the amount of time spent.

I charge $60/hr at my facility, $70/hr if mobile.
