AutoLavish in Puerto Rico: RUF RTurbo - Porsche 996

[Marc@AutoLavish]

Wow! Looks sick.

Thanks for taking a look

Looks amazing. I love those RUF's.

Its a pretty sick ride anytime you take a 911 Turbo and add to it.

123 microns is a pretty slim paint job for a high dollar car!?! You guys did and excellent job!

Just curious, what was the thickness of the paint film when done?

Pretty normal for a 911. Painting a car with high quality robots allows for a much thinner application which saves a lot of money. It also makes to much more dangerous to polish out the finish as there's not a lot of wiggle room with only 30-60 microns of clear-coat. Additionally, Porsche uses some soft clear, so while they correct easily, it is very easy to swirl them back up if washed incorrectly.
Total thickness removed was around 2-4 microns - we always strive to remove as little as possible.

Save on weight

You do great work. I'm truly envious of your skill. I've always wished I could detail a car correctly.

Never too late to learn! I'd encourage anyone to hone their skills to improve the finish of their own baby. A car is likely the second largest purchase you'll ever make - so it makes sense to keep it looking good.

Looks great! And FYI on cross-drilled rotors, they are fine up to about 75% of the holes showing cracks. If the cracks start connecting the different rows of holes (aka all in a line), then you can start to worry. Otherwise they will be fine. The cracks in your pic don't go towards the other hole so nothing to worry about. Looks to me like the car was either tracked or just driven hard with some nice hot brakes at some point. Those are normal to see with some extreme heating due to track usage or really aggressive driving.

Thank you for the great information and I'll pass that advice along to the owner.

GREAT WORK.

Thanks a lot Nick!

wow! that seems like a pretty cool job!

Has its perks!

Surely. Which ride is yours?

Nice work.

It can have its perks - but trust me: it was a lot of non-stop work while there
