    2003 50th Anniversary Edition Corvette

    2003 50th Anniversary edition Corvette, Electron Blue with Carbon Flash accents.

    This is the 2nd time I’ve had this vehicle in for my client. He had some performance and body modifications performed.
    The car is now supercharged, had headers, coil over suspension, and has a new hood, front splitter and had the rear valance and rear end painted. The wheels are going to be replaced with something different, so that is why there were not removed, polished and coated.

    The vehicle dyno’d at around 550rwhp and sounds great with the exhaust system!

    Needless to say, the performance shop didn’t take great care of the finish nor did the body shop’s finish work leave a lot to be desired.

    Enter the doc at Autodermatology. The vehicle needed another multi-stage paint correction and another slathering of ceramic coating.



    Process/tools/etc:

    UWW wash.
    Misc mf towels
    Flex 3401
    Rupes MkII 21
    Rupes iBrid
    Griots fast cutting mf pads
    Megs polishing (yellow) discs
    Griots fast correcting cream
    Griots perfecting cream
    Eraser for wipedown
    Scangrip lighting & tripods
    Metro vacuum
    LSP-Beeds HD and Beeds ELX
    Tire dressing-Kenotek vinyl and leather conditioner
    Adam’s APC
    Adam’s glass cleaner
    Nano clay sponge-fine for claying
    Blackfire spray wax on wheels
    Sonus motorkote on engine plastics






    Thanks for looking!




    The vehicle was full of swirls, scratches, hard water spots and of course, rotarty induced holograms.
    They were dealt with properly!

    Nice job. I like those color matched valve covers.

    Scott,

    That is one of the classiest C5 corvettes I've ever seen. Some of the most tasteful mods, from the black supercharger to the hood and valve covers. Only thing that needs is bigger calipers and a fixed roof However that black top works awesome to contrast the paint.

    The work is not too bad either. Great job, as usual.

    Edit: just noticed the chin spoiler. That makes the front end look very modern. To an untrained car guy/gal that could pass as a 2015/16. Without mods no way.
