    My first write up, hope you like.

    - New customer referred to me by my good friends over at ClearBraNJ. Vehicle is a 2012 Aston Martin VantageS coupe. Customer wanted to have his paintwork corrected prior to his clear bra installation. Aston Martin is pretty common to have some deffects in the finish from the manufacturer and this vehicle is surely an example. Had the vehicle delivered straight to my shop from Kerbeck to assure no road damage during transport. Vehicle was stripped of its film protection from the factory and were there some hidden deffects as you will see. New custom Film Coverage package installed post paint correction.

    This was revealed underneath film coverage on fender impact-some pretty heavy sanding marks

    sanding marks and some fairly deep pigtails covered roughly 75% of vehicle : (

    Its appalling to think people receive their Aston like this from the dealer, excellent job repairing it. Now it's better than new!
