This car was a BLAST to work on. 1960 Corvette.

The car had heavy swirls and some slight oxidation. It was single stage paint and I was a little nervous about using the rotary on this paint (had been repainted in the 80's). Started with the PC and was amazed how easily the swirls came out.

Process:
-wash
-clayed
-rewash
-2 passes with PC and Megs #80 with yellow Megs pad
-1 pass with PC and Megs #82 with beige Megs pad
-rewash
-1 coat Z5 Pro w/ZFX
-1 coat Z2 Pro w/ZFX
-1 coat Zaino Clear Seal
-Z8 Grand Finale Spray
-all chrome polished with Mother's Chrome Polish (this car has sooo much chrome)

Nice work! Mind saying what do you charge for something like that? My mom has a 75' 911 that could use some love.

That particular job was pretty costly, it was a 3 day job and about 500. But a more basic detail can be anywhere from 100-200.
