New Porsche 911 CS Correction.

I got a call from my customer telling me he just got a new 911 CS and asked me to take a look at it, I guess to my surprise I got a pretty swirled/hologram imperfect new 911! It always surprises me that dealers selling cars can do this, I feel its the dealers' job to present a perfectly prepped new car to a customer in fact they should do this for pre-owned cars as well.

Enough ranting, here is the write up.

Wow! I'm always amazed at those 50/50 shots. And, thanks again for reminding me that I'll never own a black 911 ever again...

 

I'm always amazed at the amount of swirls in new car paint, but luckily you guys are around to bring the cars to better than when they left the factory. The black looks great. All it needs are some clear side markers.
