This Porsche has been 3/4 repainted. The roof, rear lid and most of the left quarter panel are still original paint. It was very tricky to work with the different paint hardness between the two paints and there was lot of orange peel to remove and finish down.

This 911 is ready to get a makeover!

I’m ready to get this narrow bodied 2WD and base Carrera looking great again!

Part of this panel was repainted

The passenger mirror was poorly resprayed by the last owner I assume.

The roof is original paint and beat up

The front half was repainted

A surprise for my client

This panel was half repainted. It needed more time to finish down that I didn’t have.

Remember the overspray on the mirror

Headlights cleaned up nicely after polishing and coating
