Aventura green Met 993 Bodywork

Post by MidlandPaintWerks »

Hi guys,
Had some fun doing this 993 so thought id hive it a share and let more people know we are here to help and get the job done properly.
This came in for the wheel arches bubbling and battle scars down the sides including chips, dents ripples and scratches. Each corner was slightly off colour from a previous painter some not even having any pearl or metallic what so ever! It took some serious matching and blending to get the job done right so we had the colour specially formulated to match the middle of the car and topcoated using one of Glasurits finest clears.
Please check us out on facebook we work on all classics but have a passion for anything Porsche Vw

Customer didn't want the inner door membrane broken as the car was very " untouched "

Each to their own I guess. Seems an odd decision.

Yep you can lead a horse to water......
In all fairness he didnt want the bumpers off or the doors done but we worked it out with the customer to make it a better job, within his own budget.
