Thanks Phil for the excellent job and it was a pleasure meeting you in person. The car looks awesome.

As someone metioned the curb rash on the wheels. I need to get that fixed. Any advice? I have ordered the touch paint for the wheels though.

I have the OEM paint for the wheels, I can even it out then color then sand. The PERFECT way to do the wheel is to dismount the tire, but I do not have the tools to do that

Im not concerned about the "little spots" The MOST important thing is that I was able to get the clear ALL AROUND the car to 144-148 micron range. That explains the HIGH gloss the paint is able to reflect!

I have that OEM paint for the wheels. i will try to do as you said. See how good I can get it

What did you use in the interior to get that Matt finish. I want to use the same in my other car.
