Modesta BC-04 on a Maritime Blue (paint to sample) Porsche 911 GT3

We were lucky enough to work on this very rare paint to sample Porsche 911 GT3. This Maritime Blue Porsche 911 GT3 we believe is 1 of 2 in North America. (would love to see the other 1 or others out there) We received this car in pretty bad shape in much need of a full paint correction. After a full paint correction we were able to bring out the color with Modesta BC-04 a glass coating that seems to make everything look like a hard candy shell. Take a look at our process. I hope you enjoy as much as we did.

We used Sonax Fallout Remover as it was it's a great decon product - it's a little slower than the rest but that was by design, since its slower we have more time to react to the products turning white which makes for unnecessary clean up or even polishing from the product staining trim pieces


Rinsed


Next up we clayed the car

We put the lights on the paint to find more issues with the paint.

Gah that's beautiful. Awesome job of course.

 

thanks!

 

Phil,

I'm blown away by the cars you are doing and the quality you are turning out.

I never heard of buffing the under side of the hood!

End results are stellar.
