My 348 is getting a respray

Sy,

Where did you go. All done?

Full paint correction?? How does Al feel about some guy correcting his work? It looked like a first class job to me.

 

That 348 is looking absolutely awesome. I do have one thought/concern though...

What exactly is involved in a full paint correction? I thought paint corrections were only for cars with old/damaged paintwork? Surely it's just going to be re-doing what was already done? What possible improvement can be made on a car that's just had a complete bare-metal-up respray?

All the best,
Andrew.

 

They were my thoughts.

 

Hi all, firstly, can I say a massive thanks to everyone for commenting on the work, it is very much appreciated though a bit embarrassing really (I just try to do the best job I can without ripping anyone off - and am incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work on some very, very lovely cars. I don't do this job for the money, I love doing what I do & truly look forward to going to work every single day. As I say, I am an extremely lucky guy).

With the paint correction - I was always very sceptical about detailers & their ability to 'work wonders'.
I have tried a few guys & wasn't hugely impressed with the results, certainly not to the point of thinking that they could add much more to my final job.
But I had heard great reviews of Dave & Ian at Sportscar Protection & we have a number of clients in common.
They came down to the workshop to finish & detail a Strad I had done the front end on in September/October.
Having seen them work & having been able to compare their results 1st hand with another car (an Escort Cosworth) I had paid a fair amount of money out to have detailed by a local firm, I can say that their results are quite sensational.
When a car leaves me it is pretty much as good as I can get it, but I have always been aware that there are machine polishing marks in the lacquer that I have never been able to remove (& this is true of EVERY bodyshop - whether they care to admit it or not).
Their patience & attention to detail is absolutely in sync with how I like to do things & all I can say is that their work adds an unprecedented level or dimension to what I do.

Thanks again all, best wishes, Al.

 

Thanks for explaining that Al. Great job. Though i would warn Sy about the use of communal house hold T-cut on the finished paint

 

YOU would warn Sy???

 

No...let him work it out for him self Lets encourage him to polish the corners of the car as well

 

Maybe it's just me, or you are being funny and I don't get questioning or stating the obvious...

 

Angelis, you might double check when you pick your car up, but it looks like when they put the steering wheel back on, they put it on the wrong side. ???

 

Way to shiney for me! But a nice job

 

Yes its just you. Its a bit of British humour between Sy and myself Just the same way Husker was having a little humour as well

 

Oh siht Burn baby burn

 

See, now I feel stupid, ...again!

 

Almost...
So close to finished. Beautiful work on a fine ride.

 

Looks awesome man. You have to be amped and ready to receive her back into your hands - you better give her a little "Enthusiastic" drive once she warms up just to make sure she knows you still love her

Looking good Sy! Yet another great job by Al.
