1990 Porsche Carrera 4 Exterior Detail
Recently completed detail @ my shop, this vehicle came to me thru one of the guys who work @ Premier(Greg) as he is a family friend. Pretty well cared for Porsche for it's age and had a paint to match color according to the client(90's Corvette hue).
When the client brought the car for a estimate he thought there was not much I could do to improve the finish............... he knows different as of today(lol).
Here I am prepping the areas to be wrapped by Premier.
Finish corrected and finished down with no LSP for the best result in the film install.
Over @ Premier for them to "Do what they do".....
Back @ my shop after the film install,after a good wash/clay procedure here is the beginning of the paint correction stage, also few water spots to take care of.
50/50's of the engine cover.
Reverse angle.
Rear bumper.
Entire bumper corrected.
Drivers rear quarter before.
After.
This finish was a re-spray, as the client told me the car was damaged as new and PNA re-painted it when they were located in Reno NV. Very nice paint but a few issues I cleared up such as shrink and wetsanding scratches/tracers in a few spots like here under the drivers door handle.
After correction.
Part of this job was to correct and restore the trim which was "Dryness" after 21 years.....
Mirrors were the worst.
After a lot of tedious cleaning....before dressing was applied.
Dressing applied for a satin non-greasy finish.

It was fun I have to admit, he was a doubting Thomas for sure and there was a little more motivation than usual as in "I will see if you can make any improvement"......well the results were self evident obviously and the client was suprised pleasantly of course, and I do my job with this reaction in mind and it makes your day in addition to the funds collected.
