2000 Dodge Viper Restorative Correction by Richie's Custom Detailing

The owner of this 2000 Viper wanted the paint brought back to a proper state. He had consulted a body shop and was told it would need a repaint. (there's a shocking development)

I was able to restore the finish to an acceptable level/

The befores.

As it was dropped off.

















Hood Before.





50/50







More defects.







Rear quarter in progress.





Customer wanted the car de-badged.





This area needed a little wet sanding.



Door pull needed some help as well.



Afters.

Not a lot of afters as I had another car in the on deck circle.

Thanks,
Obviously that will depend on how well the owner takes care of it. If it goes through a tunnel car wash or is washed improperly it will get scratched again.

Amazing turn around, very impressive. What was the paint like to work with? Hard, soft, in the middle?

Richie (I presume?), phenomenal work. If I am in the FL area, I will be buzzing you. *sent you a PM.
I admire you detailers, the amount of passion and precision you put into these autos. It really does show after the outcome, and also it gives you something to be proud of. Maintaining and giving the time is the critical piece, but with the right combo of heart and head gives the credibility all worth while. I tip my hat off to your expertise and care for the one true escape man AND women can have- autos. The sheer pleasure of exhaust is great, but waking up in the morning with something of beauty to admire is all we need to forget our troubles and sorrows. I know I do, it's hard to find a great detailer in my area, and to be honest no one gives a shit.. they just care about the extra few $$. You though seem like you have your work square out in front of you. Thanks again for your service to us individuals who cannot. It does take talent, never give up, bro!

Amazing!
