2002. Camaro. Very unique car came in for a serious makeover. The owner purchased this car brand new back in 2002 and over the years, the paint has faded, accrued a few chips and some scratching. Keep in mind, the paint is black and shows absolutely everything. The entire car needed a three stage cut and polish using heavy, medium and fine grit compounds. The idea here is to minimize the scratching, reduce the fade/oxidation to really bring back the old shine. The hood required a 2000 grit, 2500 finishing with a 3000 grit sand along with some paint chip fill. At the end of the day, the customer drove a long way to have this car restored, and he was ecstatic with the final result. I’m super pumped to have you look at some really great before and after photos. Enjoy!
