Porsche 912 Paint Correction and Opti-Coat
LONG ISLAND OPTI-COAT PRO
Specialists are far and few. This particular client contacted me through a referral and was very interested in protecting his new toy. In terms of durability, ease of maintenance, and reliability, his best choice was Opti-Coat Pro. During the winter time, Long Island gets covered in road salt which can severely damage this classic roadster. We wanted to protect the new finish and prevent any further damage as this Porsche was recently repainted. Luckily it only required some mild paint correction and detailing prior to opticoat application. We chose to schedule a Stage Three detail with Opti-Coat Pro application.
BEFORE
PAINT CORRECTION
It is always good practice to take paint thickness readings across all panels before correction. Paint correction and buffing removes paint. We want to be safe and make sure we are not removing too much paint and jeopardizing the integrity of the paint. In this case, we have tons of paint to work with as this was recently resprayed generously.
DURING
PAINT CORRECTION
APPLYING
OPTI-COAT PRO
Preparation is key with Opti-Coat Pro applications. After the paint correction process the car is carefully hand washed and dried to remove any polishing dust and residue. To remove any oils left behind, by my hands or the polishes, I then prep the entire vehicle with a strong alcohol solution. After carefully inspecting the paint for any other imperfections or blemishes, we are ready for the application process.
