So you either love or hate the color. Me I simply dig the car. If you're going to have an exotic might as well have it really stand out, eh?

I have no BEFORE pics as it was overcast the day I started and I have no AFTER pics in the sun as today it is wet and cold but I do have a few inside AFTER pics to show you all.

I hope to get some outside shots Monday when the owner picks them but until then you can get an idea of what the car looks like....and yea I know, all cars can look great inside and I'm hoping it looks just as good if not better out in the sun.

I used Optimum Polish over about 90% of the paint with various pads to level and polish the paint. It has 4 coats of Opti-Seal over a 24 hour period.

That looks awesome....and I personally think the color is excellent! Definately a standout. WHat did you use on the spoiler...looks like it was bbrand new. AN how about the door handles...are those painted or plastic....super work!

Beautiful work, the paint looks wet. The color, I just don't care for that green. But it's wet wet wet green! Thanks for sharing.
Opti-Seal? I don't think I've heard of that. I use Poli-Seal time to time, and I must say I like it a lot. You can even mix it with OC 50/50 and works great. So Opti-Seal is OP's sealant line I take it?

Thank you. The rear spolier was cleaned and then some Zaino dressing was applied (can't remember the name). The Zaino dressing must have some type of cleaner in it as it pulled black from the spoiler.

The door handles were done with Poli-Seal along with alot of the rubber trim pieces. I also used Poli-Seal to remove the fingernail scratches inside the door handle cups.

Well so far....it appears to be a very UNcommon color on Porsches across the board, for any make and year. I've had some Porsche nuts tell me a few things about the car itself but as for the color.....it's not common at all but more along the lines of a special order deal.

Thank you

Yes the Opti-Seal is a new soon to be released sealant (I'm hoping this coming week) that is unique in it's application. It's applied in a very thin coat and then it's left alone to evaporate. There is no buffing off of residue.

Thanks everyone for the compliemnts, glad you enjoyed it.

Anthony

WOW, that is GREEN!!! Agreed, love it or hate it. I love it, its different. Looks great. Looks like team Kawasaki. The only thing I can see wrong is, there's no blending in the crowd with that. If you're speeding, go through radar, you just as well pull over, sign the ticket, and pay the fine.

Beautiful work, Anthony! It's hot. I like the color. You might get sick of looking at it at some point, but it amplifies the great job done on it. Sure to turn heads!
Being unique is cool!!!
Great job!
