Earlier in the year the "Speed Chanel" taped a segment of this Ferrari against a Porsche GT3RS(Sharkwerks 3.9 GT3RS) @ Beal Airforce base north of Sacramento with Tanner Foust driving the Porsche and Paul tracy driving the "Blue mediterrano" Ferrari F-430 which is modified with software(Evosit) Fabspeed headers & exhaust. During the 3 day shoot as this Ferrai did NOT have clearfilm to protect it(like the Porsche) it was chipped up pretty good as exspected. The car also now has Factory Scuderia wheels/front bumper/carbon side skirts. Another painter other than the one I use re-sprayed the front trunk cover/quarters and bumper.........it did not go well and my shop re-sprayed the front bumper as there was too much to deal with, I was however able to fix the rest(re-wetsand /correct) the finish. Re-spray aftermath. Sanding marks. Oh no........ Levelling the finish. A slight improvement:gasp: Look at the sand scratches on the quarter panel..... Finished down, and ready to go to Premier for the wrap(so this does not happen again lol).
Car came back to me from Premier, as there were no headlights/rear diffuser/ wheel wells I sprayed the car down with my "Low pressure washer". Spent some time correcting, but not many pics as I am booked tight right now. Check out the new scud skirts, with a 50/50 split of paint and exposed carbon. Sun pics. Customer had the factory windshield washer ports filled in....the look is much smoother.
awesome colour indeed he should have optioned it with the italian stripes though, they would look unreal against the blue edit: oh wait its not a scuderia/16m
you clearly do absolutely amazing work. I aspire to be as good as someone at your skill level. you must be really proud to have had the chance to work on a car that was on tv and bring it back to new. good for you man. great work. godoman
I appreciate a compliment as well as the next guy, but really I put my pants on just like you in the morning and never try and be this guy........:hmph: a nose in the air, no account HUMP. My wife keeps my feet on the ground...daily and if I ever deviate I am dealt a quick look "With the quickness" (trademarked by Bing Inc) and yes I am fortunate to work on the most beautiful cars in the world sometimes.
Stunning colour Bob and the afters outside look fantastic! Tell me more about the lowe pressure washer please. What is it, how does it work and why use that over a regular (high) pressure washer?
I'm also interested in the how and why of your low pressure wash method. I noticed you've used this method in past details as well (e.g. Acura NSX). You do outstanding work! Thanks for sharing.
The "Low pressure washer" is a battery operated machine from Mytee, which sprays out a fine controlled amount of water which you mix a 30% amount of ONR or Last touch/Favorite QD. I utilize this machine when I cannot or do not want to wash conventionally, due to weather or in this case I did not want get certain parts of the car wet. It works really well and during winter when it raining hard I still can wash the car and do the wheels decently even if I do not dismount them(although that is the reason for a shop and a lift which saves me during inclement weather where if I was still mobile the appointment would be cancelled).
