Is that shot, or color-sanded-compounded? Great looking job.

Absolutely gorgeous. I prefer single stage over BC/CC on our C3's. They just look more original that way. Anyone else agree?

I had my white LT-1 sprayed in single stage. It looks much more period correct than my brother’s car which was painted in bc/cc by the same guy.

There was a big debate about this on the Porsche forum I belonged to. About 50/50 I guess. I think a lot has to do with whether the car is customized or kept original.

Depends on what the owner is trying to accomplish.
To the O/P I like it. Great job. Certainly shinny enough.
