This client was a referral. He contacted me a few months ago and scheduled a paint correction/coating.

This vehicle, although white, was not hiding anything! It was full of swirls and some scratches. The paint readings I received were less than stellar and I had to be on the conservative side with my approach to the correction. The paint was also the typical rock hard GM clear.

It took some time to get the combo it liked dialed in. But I found out what worked the best for me.

This vette came out glossy!! The gloss was really amped up!

Came out really good, as expected. I'm not a fan of white Vettes, but this thread is not about my likes/dislikes. LOL. I'm sure the owner was WOWED when he picked it up. Again, awesome job as usual!

That red interior pops now. And those wheels, well, they look brand spanking new!

I LOVE white corvettes. They are rare and look fantastic.

Amazing work as always! You saved that one, that's for sure.

Thanks all! GT500: I believe the majority of the defects were from improper wash technique as well as drive thru car washes...
