Full paint correction on my Viper TA

[1.8t]

I bought my TA last November and it was delivered with a "detail" from the dealer even though I instructed them to not touch the car. The car was shipped to me and since I was planning a full paint correction anyways, I didn't let their incompetence ruin the delivery. With that said, the before/after photos show a tremendous difference. This difference was exacerbated by the fact that the car was filthy when I dropped it off, but none the less I was ecstatic with the results.

www.shineautosalon.com performed the paint correction and they did an exceptional job. I also thought their photos came out great as well.

OMG.

I can't imagine how breathtaking that car must look in real life. Absolutely stunning. One of the meanest, nastiest looking cars I have ever seen in my life. Badass all the way.

Have you considered dropping the car 1" or so?

Leave it up to the Stealership to Mess up a finish!!!!!!!!!! It is about the only thing most of them can do right!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing better than a fresh Detail on a Black Car, Like looking into a puddle of oil!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn it looks like a show car now!

I hope you don't mind, but how much does a paint correction go for? I hear for the higher end stuff, upwards of $10k.

I am getting it completely wrapped in Suntek PPF tomorrow and then I will look into lowering and power options.

$1,200 and it was worth every penny.

Sexy beast! Pardon my ignorance but what does paint correction consist of?

Does that Suntek PPF cut down on the paint gloss much?

I'm curious how long it took them to do the correction? Did they only work on the paint or did they do the whole car?

I can't believe how terrible the dealer screwed up their "detail". I'd be tempted to take these pictures and the detail bill back to the dealer lol

$10000 is hugeeeeely overpriced. A good correction can usually cost anywhere between $500 and $2000, depending on how much work needs to be done.

Your Viper looks great OP!! Really turned out well. It's amazing how much had to be done on a brand new car.

[NlGHTMARE]

Typically it consists of wash, clay bar, polishing with varying levels of coarseness depending on how bad the paint is, cleaning, waxing, then sealing.
