1997 Porsche 911 C4S /Paint correction and LUSSO ORO
Black/Black

I don't know what to say but my customer recently bought this beautiful 993 C4S and its in great mechanical shape, interior is in excellent shape, and the body is in great shape for an 11 year old car. However the paint is another story. The paint felt like sandpaper and was filled with tons of fillers, swirls, light scratches, tons of imperfections.

I had the car before the New Year and it will be delivered later today.....Take a look.

Let me know what you all think.

 

Looks like a completely different (and new) car. I'm sure the owner will be SHOCKED when he sees it.

Just goes to show what the right tools and products, in the hands of the right person, can do.

I can't believe I owned some nice cars in my life but never owned a R/O buffer until two years ago.

Thanks for sharing !!

 

Thanks!

yup the customer was very happy when he got this back.

we used a rotary on the panels and on the bumpers I believe we used a Flex XC3401 Orbital

 

Hey Philip, Nice work! How long did it take to complete the whole Job?

 

Simply amazing, I can’t believe the difference

 

Whoa! What a mess that poor car was!

Nice work!

Thanks everyone! This is one we did last year figured I would share some write ups with you all.

 

Very nice. The late 1990's carreras are by far my favorite, right up until the new Evolution 999. Don't get me wrong the new water cooled cars are awesome as well but the body style in 1997 and 1998 is beautiful.

 

thanks! I would have to agree.
