I've been pretty busy lately, which translates into my being MIA on the forums. LOTS of write ups to do so I'll just start with this one. I was contacted by the new owner of this Berwick Bronze '07 DB9 about restoring the finish. The paint was in pretty awful shape, and he was able to convince the dealer to knock $10k off the price because of it. The driver's side rear quarter had also been painted, and there were clear runs down the side. We set aside roughly 35 hours for the correction from start to finish, and she came out great!

The finish was a bit of a PITA to correct because of the soft nature of the paint. The whole car was absolutely covered in deep RIDS, with swirl marks over top. A relatively light combo removed the swirls, but didn't budge the RIDS.:mad For that reason I chose a fairly aggressive correction process to level the paint, which dulled the finish significantly as you will see in some of the shots. However, when the finishing steps were conducted, it was as if I was peeling back a layer of skin to reveal the flawless luster underneath. This Aston had some of the flattest paint I have seen, there was virtually ZERO orange peel.

After the correction was completed, the owner wisely opted to have the finish locked in with Opti Coating. :buttrock:redspot

Very impressive work Brian. The car simply looks the way it should be. Amazing.

I love the 50/50 shots between compounding and polishing. Very interesting.
