Default 17 hour correction on a Z06
Its been a little while since I posted, things have been crazy busy with 70 hr weeks lately and I'm way behind on posting up pics, so this will be a brief one...

This was a 2-step paint correction to fix severe swirls and holograms after having the roof and hood painted, along with some polishing of the rare Fikse FM5 wheels too.


Total time invested: 17 hours

I'm not sure I like the hood or the paint job, but now nobody can say that thing is dirty! Amazing work man.

They're always very happy and sometimes downright astonished.

The hood had to be a bitch. Ive worked at bodyshops during HS and college so Ive spent my fair time wetsanding/buffing black hoods. Nice work.
