1989 IROC Convertible full correction (37 hours) - Immaculate Reflections

The last few months have been extremely busy, so I'm pretty backlogged on photos as I have not as much time to be on the forums as I'd like. This IROC was completed a couple months ago when the weather was still nice in CA.

The owner of this car was looking to get the paint perfect after having a full repaint done. He is restoring the car and is nearly finished, so he wanted the paint to look perfect. The bodyshop had left their usual marks that needed sorting out. The owner is a successful engineer and not your typical IROC owner. His taste in other vehicles was quite nice. This particular car had significant sentimental value to him, so it had to be done right.

Total time spent: 37 hours
