Some pictures from my job today. A single step correction on this dark blue Porsche 911. The roof had some pretty bad scratches and the owner decided to have me 2-step the roof. The hood was also replaced a couple years ago and it quickly became obvious that the paint used on the hood was much softer than the rest of the car. Hence the variation to the whole process outlined below.
The hood was intentionally left unprotected when I was finished because the owner decided to get the hood wrapped the next day. Decided it was best to just leave it unsealed to make the wrap installation easier.
The front bumper and half the fenders were also wrapped. These were masked off and left alone for the most part. There was also some wrap in front of each rear wheel that was masked off.

Since I hear photobucket is doing away with being able to embed images, I figured id just attach them here. Sucks I lose quality but it is what it is until I find something else to host.
Griots HD doing its thing. Wheel sealed at this point
Test spot on hood and another Before/After. Hood was replaced 2 years ago due to damage and this paint was soft and corrected easily
Roof was in rough shape. Lots of RIDS. 2-step was done here to correct as much as possible
Couple misc. before/afters
Finished job! Storms were rolling thru as I was working and this was the most sunlight we had seen all day
Thanks for looking!
