Audi RS 5 * Suzuka Grey * Opti Coat

[Rcrew]

Here is our latest project, hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

This is a new Audi RS 5 in a stunning custom color, suzuka grey. It is a very subtle grey with a nice amount of metal flake in the paint. No doubt this will look amazing in direct sunlight, but we didn’t have any of that during the RS’s stay with us. Our shop lights were all we had, but we think it turned out amazing in any light!

After a visual inspection, It was booked in for our entry level Opti-Coat package, involving full decontamination and single stage polish to bring out the gloss. Opti-Coat, -Lens, and -Glass were all applied to the appropriate surfaces of this vehicle. Wheels and calipers coated as well.

Prior to decontamination, decent layer of grime coating everything

During decontamination
Snow foam to loosen dirt, and an iron neutralizer to deep clean. Opti-Raser mild was also used

Debadge!
A little side project the owner wanted taken care of. As soon as he installs the new badges and sends me a pic, I will post. It is sure to look badass!

Paint Correction
Not a ton to show here, very light defects overall. There are two defects you can see in the top shot, corrected in the bottom

And I think totally debadged looks good on this car...maybe the owner will fall in love with it. At the same time, I am curious how the blacked out pieces will look.

[LatinFG2]

Looks awesome!

I like your Yukon, that badging looks really nice.

I agree with you that he should black out the fronts too and even told him as much. At this point he can't be bothered to do anything different on the front. I'll show him your pic though...

[Rcrew]

Looks awesome!

Thank you!
