    What we have here is a 2002 Chevy Camaro Black on Black... Super well taken care of by the owner... But in our hands to bring back to 100% after a few mishaps by mother nature and car show goers.

    This customer, Justin, is our kind of guy :thumb:. Car guy through and through :headbang:, hung out with us all day shooting the S about cars and even lending a hand. Not to mention just as particular about his car as we are about our own. He approached us asking to have is car brought back to 100% as he is starting to see swirls, had a mishap with mother nature in the middle of October last year (2ft of snow!!!) and a car show goer who can't read, let alone respect someone elses car :shakehead:.

    Dan and I spent 18 man hours on this beast and we both have to say, this car is 99 out of 100 when it comes to the paint. We were able to address 99% of the areas Justin wanted taken care of and removed all the minor swirling in the paint. Car finished looking dripping wet with a reflection in low light that you could mistake for a mirror. Fantastic car to work on.

    Thanks for your business Justin and enjoy! Now on to the rest of the write up...
