Damn! Another great turn out for a fantastic car. Superb work guys!

 

NIce work guys! Looks great!

 

Awesome work Phil and the rest of the crew!!

 

What a stunner, gorgeous car! Unbelievable the wheel/tires were damaged though.

 

Looks great!

Phil, when you do PPF and OC, do you apply one or the other, or both? and if both, do you apply OC above or below PPF?

I am asking because I have seen other people that have applied OC below PPF and also above [both, after lower layer had fully cured] and also seen people just do one or the other, IE OC only where PPF was not applied.

 

I've been doing what the customer request. on this one the customer asked for it to be under the opti coat. it doesn't really matter though.

then we applied it on top as well, figure it would make more sense on top of the film.

we had the car for 4-5 days I believe so yup proper set times were done.

 

Great work Phil, love that color

 

nice work guys.

needs BBS.

 

Beautiful car!

 

Awesome job on a wicked ride. Love the new TT's

 

Stunning looking car Phil. Nice job. Man I wish we had a competent clear film guy here.

 

Great work guys!

Nice work! Any idea how the wheels got scuffed since it was trucked directly to you?

 

I believe customer said it happened in transit to the dealer.

Pretty friggin cool man!! NICE Phil.
