dsmith2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 My latest job was another black convertible Corvette (almost identical to the last one). Some parts of the car had been repainted, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Here’s what it looked like when the customer dropped it off. Just a little dust. Wheels weren’t too bad. Some silicone tire dressing sling. Cowl was looking a little faded. Waterspots. Exhaust wasn’t looking so hot. Started the wash off with the wheels. Then the wheelwells. Looking new again. Then to the paint with a little foam gun action. After claying, I inspected the paint. This was easily the worst paint I’ve ever worked on. A little left over spray paint (car had been vandalized). Sanding marks. Paint readings looked alright. Test spot (before finishing). Hood. Passenger fender. Redbeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
