Back to Black

With COE prices on the up, most of our customers have come to realize that frequent changing of rides just isn't going to be possible. Most have decided to keep their rides, instead revamping them with brand new looks. Our project GTR was one such example.

From frozen white, experimenting with the world's best car care products for matte finishes, back to striking solid black paintwork that left onlookers in awe of its menacing deep black gloss. Total turnover time: 21 days.

The paintwork was topped off with a modern water-based nano clear coat (lacquer) that allowed for a deep crystal clear finishing, requiring meticulous work to polish out all the fine swirls and halograms that were evident after compounding.

Swirls and halograms were painstakingly exposed

 and removed with the help of strong lighting.

Swapping on a new carbon fibre hood.

With only two days left prior to CNY, we had an uphill task of transforming the freshly painted GTR into a head turner by eliminating swirls and enhancing its gloss to a whole new level. Our in-house Nano Ceramic Coating Treatment was applied and the show car parked 24hrs before Swissvax Crystal Rock was laid on for protection.
