G35 Paint Correction

The owner of this black G was referred to me by another detailer. The owner is a member here, although I forgot his screen name. It was in pretty horrible shape, and as opposed to going in depth regarding every defect I will let the pictures do the talking. Any questions regarding products used or any other inquiry I would be more than happy to answer.

I was a little concerned about this premature system failure on the deck lid would not respond well to correction attempts, however it was 100% removed, luckily.








After








Deck lid after

Came out very nice... I assume you are a detailer, then?

What did you use to fix the paint? Rotary buffer?

Yes this was the final finish for my 9 year old Makita as it blew up while my colleague was using is on a 1973 Porsche Carrera RS.

It varies based on the clients expectations, and defects, prices can range from 300-1200 exterior only.

I know people that would paint your car for 50 dollars...quality is all relative, fact is, most cars coming out of body shops with new 1200 dollar paint jobs need more attention than neglected and aged factory systems.

Hey guys, this was my car. Brian and his colleague did an AMAZING job restoring the paint. I got into an accident early on when I first bought the car in 05 and the body shop ruined my paint...more years of abuse just made it worse. I didnt know how to get rid of all the swirls/haze/damage until i talked with brian. Thanks again for the awesome job.

As far as price goes, you really get what you pay for...i care more about what im getting for my money rather than what its going to cost me...thats a personal choice. I had a limit as to how much I was willing to spend and Brian worked with me to make sure I didnt exceed that limit...even though he put in A LOT MORE work than what he charged. It took about 8 hours to complete.

Overall I am very happy with the results and would definitely recommend their services. Thanks again guys!

only bad thing was that it poured rain 30 minutes after everything was done
