GP Automotive Renewal Service: Clear Film/Console Repaint - Mika_Hakkinen's 996TT cab
 

Recently a long-time client of our's purchased a very nice, extremely low-mileage, 996 TT Cabriolet. We were fortunate enough to meet up with him a few weeks ago when he called us to purchase some products to care for her.

Once thing led to another, and we decided the smartest thing to do is wrap the whole front end to protect the pristine paint. He also hinted that he wanted to do something more unique, yet tasteful, to the interior. Below is what we came up with. Enjoy!

She arrived at 6:00AM on a Friday and we went straight to work

Bumper carefully disassembled. This is where having an expertise in Porsches comes in handy. About 80% of our business is Porsche. I guess after almost 20 years, you can say we know them pretty well.

Every part, nut, screw, and bolt is properly cataloged and stored. We don't ever have any spare parts when complete ;)

Another aspect of pre-prep, unique to GP, is performing paint correction and paint touch up to anywhere we will be applying clear film. This definitly adds more time and expense to the project, but we feel it's the proper way of enhancing something already amazing

As usual, our custom installs are done using bulk film whenever possible. This requires an advanced level of skill from the installer as all the necessary cuts are done by hand. There is no substitute for experience at this level of art and science

Whenever we have access to areas previously unavailable, we make it a point to clean up as much as possible. Just another OCD feature here at the insane asylum

Once film installation is complete and all parts are reassembled, we apply a nano coating to the film. This further protects the film against the elements

Previous paint job, not factory, had tremendious orange peel. We had to spend a few hours sanding down the orange peel for proper paint job

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1373915084

New paint. Looks much better. There was a little orange peel from the new paint job. More sanding and leveling to bring out the color and shine

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1373915084

Sanded, polished, and waxed
