Default Twin Turbo Camaro Paint Correction

Got to do a paint correction on my friend Kent's bad *** twin turbo Camaro. The paint on this thing was BAD, and there were several areas on the car where the clear-coat was extremely thin, and even parts where it was missing. Needless to say, I had my work cut out for me. The paint was also really oxidized and had this whitish look to it. Overall, I'm very pleased with how well it turned out. I had told him beforehand there were areas that the paint correction would not fix, but the paint on the doors, rear quarter panels, and the rear was in pretty decent shape. I used the multi step Adams paint correction with matching pads for this job. It's all I ever use and it's never let me down. This car is now ready for Streetcar Takeover STL this weekend. Let me tell you, this car is going to hurt a ton of feelings on the street and on the track. Now the car looks as good as it runs. Thanks for letting me take care of it for you Kent.

Would love to. I'd be going, but we're out of town this weekend. Looks as if it may be a wash. Streetcar Takeover is in KC this June. I'm about 90% sure I'll be going to that one.

I'm not going to say what it runs because it's not my place, but lets just say I really focused on the back of the car because that's what most people are going to be seeing.

Wasn't there some field plowing going on down in Mexico at that time?

Very nice, I love how clean the bay is and on the outside the only thing non stock is emergency power switch and fender exhaust.

It's the definition of a true street car, that's for sure.

I think he's planning on doing some type of vinyl wrap to incorporate the name of his speed shop. It is a good looking car. It's amazing how much a paint correction can change the way a car looks.

O yes. Was crazy. Those weeds needed plowing any way.

Did the customer request tire shine on the rear drag radials? The reason I ask is that the oils will sit in the pores of the rubber and then seep out when doing a burnout which *might* hurt traction a bit.
