    This car belongs to the owner of 503motoring.com. a few years ago it was sold to a friend who unfortunately didn't take very good care of it while owning it. But now the car is back and in good hands. I was asked to try to do something to the paint because it was really trashed. I estimated 2 days and honestly I don't know what I was thinking at that moment.
    In the end I spent 3 days on the paint, around 22 hours. It had to be done at the end of day 3 which meant much fewer pictures plus missed taking many after pictures as well. In any case you will have a good idea at least of the condition of the paint before I worked on it. It is raining here in Portland so any sun shots have to wait.

    Wow! That is nuts man. I hate GM clear coats but what a world of a difference you made. Im surprised you got those good of shots as white is a pain to photograph.

    Superb work as usual.
