During the Poker Run this year, weeks after Cam did his magic to my car, I was asked twice if I had my car recently painted..., He is that good!

Wow sign me up. You do some amazing work, hats off to you. I just had a cut polish and wax done, is there a certain time between cuts ad waxes that should be waited out. I would love to get something like this done before the s2k meet. Pm me your pricing info

It's been a while since I posted in this thread, and a while since our last project. So my buddy and I decided to take on a big one. This is my good friends 1989 Mercedes 560SEC. Only 50,000 kms on it, but in dire need of some paint correction. It was imported from Japan and looked like it had acid rain etching... dull finish all over. We were quite happy with the outcome.

Arrival:





Wheels were a bit corroded but we would still clean them up regardless:



Under the hood::









Foam Bath/Wash:
