Bradan 550 bare metal respray

Thx. What would you have done if one had broken?
I understand that the rear window would no longer be available?

 

I love the colour!

 

That is the ONLY way to remove glass safely!

A proper respray or colour change job cannot be done with the glass in the car. My friend owns a paint/panel shop and he removes all the glass on a respray or colour change.

He just passes on the extra cost to the customer and at the end of the day...............it doesn't add much to the bill.

 

I guess glass is much cheaper then in Australia....

 

Prugna! Paint is Prugna! It'd be the only 550 in the world painted in that out-of-range Ferrari color.


On the topic of glass, a 550 windshield is roughly $8K.

 

Lol, in all the years knowing my mate I dont remember him smashing anyones windscreens when removing them to paint.

If it's already cracked, he wont remove it because it will make the crack A LOT worse.

If it's not cracked, as long as you know what you are doing it is not hard to remove them without smashing or cracking them.

 

$8k for a windshield!!! Amazing Ferrari mark-up.

 

575M windshield is only ~$2600. Should fit. I was going to buy one on E-Bay for less than $2K until I realized they were not that expensive.

Curious, have you selected a colour yet? I may have missed it sorry.

 

I was wondering that myself Pap. Since the (beautiful) metallic blues seem to be out of the running, I'm curious as to the winning colour.

 

This looks to be a 10x better job than the factory's...

 

I dont think that the factory places much emphasis on quality of paint work as all their energy is directed to the engine, transmission, suspension and brakes.
