1976 Corvette Stingray - Anthony's Auto Detailing

[Anthony Onorato]

This vehicle belongs to a client of mine in Ventnor, NJ. He's a cool guy that understands what goes in to paint correction. This vehicle was done over the course of 2 days at 8 hours per day. He built this vehicle pretty much from scratch, and the paint was showing it's age. It's garage kept, but after 10 years of wiping down before shows and a few improper details from some other "pros", I had quite a bit of work on my plate. The clearcoat was rather hard and there were some deep RIDS in the paint. This is a show car, that only drives to and from shows, so we looked for as close to perfection as possible...and we will be setting up a schedule to keep it perfect.

Wow incredible work. What were the machines for the process? Im guessing rotory with the M105?

Also didnt see what pads were used.

What a great looking Corvette. A real turn around.

Do you have a straight down picture of the mural on the hood? I would love to see a better picture of it. I am a big fan of airbrushing.

He did a great job on the wheels. Unfortunately you can see the finish is pretty much the same around the valve stem. That area is really hard to get. You need to wrap arag around a popsicle stick to polish it.
Phenomenal job on the whole car, really, especially the paint. That paint looked pretty trashed to be a show car to me. It's hard to believe the car wasn't driven regularly.

To the OP: Your detail pics are great, but I think a few shots far enough back to see the whole car would be nice, too.

Nice eagle mural on the hood. It looks like there might be a woman standing on a mountain in a red dress. I see a Daytona hood and a 1980 type rear bumper, too. Those 1980 rear bumpers look better than the 76s IMO. I also really like the Daytona front bumper on these cars, but that isn't here.
Congrats on the trophy. It was well earned.
