C6 Corvette paint correction
 

I had my friend drop off his C6 Corvette the other day for a much needed paint correction. The sad part about this whole deal is that he just had the hood and and new Z06 front bumper put on and painted. The actual paint work is nice but the shops finishing work IE wetsanding and buffing is absolutly horrible. I was shocked to see all of the DA marks from sanding still left in the clear coat. Not too mention how much they charged him and now he has to pay me good money to fix it. He already brought it back once and they still didnt get it right. I will be updating this thread as it gets completed. Anyway on to the before pics.

Here is a couple after shots with just compounding and a light polishing. No where near completed but you get the idea. Night and day so far.

Damn that looks terrible! good luck!!!

Thanks. Its coming along. Already have 3hrs in it and thats just heavy compounding on the bumper and hood. The rest of the car isnt too bad but it needs work. Should be done Monday I am hoping.

I can't believe a reputable shop would let the car leave looking like that:321:

Looking good so far!! I'm sure the owner will be happy:yaaaay:

Before shot of the door. No I did not sand the door. It was brought to me like that.

Very nice work! I can see why he keeps bringing it back to you.

Thank you Dave!!! The finished product should look a lot better

Yeah definitely do some nice work. You make it sound simple from the description of the process but I'm sure it takes some expertise and skill.
