Default 68 Camaro SS Full Paint Correction by Richie's Custom Detailing

This 68 Camaro SS was brought in for a full exterior restoration.



As she was dropped off.























Inside under the lights.



You can see here that anpther detailer had rolled the clear previously, which is the point right before striking through the clear.



The paint reading on this spot showed 650 microns and goes to show that even if you have high paint readings it doesn't necessarily mean there is is alot of clear to work with.



Needless to say i avoided this spot like the plague.







More befores.

Thanks. Patience helps too. This car took over 50 hours to complete.

I do travel, but it would be more cost effective if the car was brought to me since I do charge for travel.
