2003 Porsche 996 Turbo(Midnight Blue) Correction
#1
2003 Porsche 996 Turbo(Midnight Blue) Correction
Just recently completed(with assitance from the "BING") this car had some re-sprayed panels and the problems that come with that(sand scratches & tracers) along with U.V. damaged and dried out trim.
After a thorough wash/clay etc.... I started with the decklid first as this part of the car is tight confines and I wanted to "Work downhill" after the correction on this part of the car.
First 50/50's.
