    Hello Folks,

    We've finally had some time to document some 550 sticky refinishing.

    As our standard process, all parts with graphics are laser etched - no stick on decals.

    Here are a few completed parts - will post more over time :)

    In 99% of the cases, we fully disassemble the parts, refinish and reassemble when complete. This dome light is a prime example - everything fully disassembled including the wiring :cool:

    Thanks for looking :)

    Hello Folks,

    So we recently refinished a complete set of parts for a customers 550 who is working to make the car a 100 point car - Very nice guy :)

    He asked us if we could help him with his dirty and tired aluminum pedals....

    We cleaned, glass bead blasted, tumbled and stain anodized these - I think they came out very nice. In fact, I will be doing the same to my 355 pedals :cool:

    Pardon the placement of the pedals in the photos...

    Before and after ;)

    If a car is 16 years old and has Nil, Zero, Zilch traces of the Sticky, AND they have never been treated or replaced, where's the catch ?

    Not unusual, the only sticky on mine has been the parking brake handle.

    Did it get sorted at some point during the production or is build-year nothing to do with it ?

    One of the ex-Jap cars I saw recently, sub 20.000km and 2001, had such awful surfaces that your fingers came away blackened and sticky just from opening the bonnet.

    I wonder if the problem is exacerbated by using certain cleaning agents, as the UV sunshine argument wouldn't hold for the roof panel nor for the bonnet flap, would it ?

    Since the seller of the car in question brushed the issue off as being easy to fix "with acetone or methylated spirits" which he assured me were "the same thing", I think his switches may have been so awful precisely because he had been having a go himself with a home-brewed approach.

    Can I assume that ALL cars will eventually have the problem, ore there indeed other owners who never get it, or never more than the handbrake button ?!

    I've just purchased a 550 that had your Sticky No More completed 6-7 years ago, my question is how long will this last (the car is never left in the sun or extreme heat)?

    We are not Sticky No More - we are Sticky RX Refinishing Solutions and did not refinish your car.

    Recently engaged Dave to re-finish virtually entire interior "stickies"...a very very pleasant experience start to finish. Professional, courteous, timely with constant communication.
    All pieces return shipped packaged like the "Crown Jewels"....with the quality to match.

    Thanks again Dave,

    Jacik

    Thank you, Jack!

    One of our customers, Steve Castillo (Ferrari Steve), just shared this from his customer who posted on Facebook the results on the work we did on his car via Steve (who is super cool tech in the Houston area)

    My friend and customer Matt Burns send me this photo today as he is installing parts we refinished for his client's 550 Barchetta - the client is very pleased :)

    Our new paint booth clean room has been operation for 5-6 weeks now and we are very pleased with the performance. We have a new team member on board now as well who just completed his 3rd week and he is doing a great job. Still planning to hire 1-2 more guys in the next few months.
