Paint correction for Ferrari in Houston

Ferrari

How we approach a Ferrari

Correction on a Ferrari starts with sorting out what is paint, what is film and what is carbon. Reading every panel with the depth gauge matters here, because older cars may have had a respray after front-end damage and the readings tell that story. Red is the color most cars wear, and red shows holograms from past polishing under shop lights more than people expect; those come out with a finishing pad and a fine polish rather than heavy compound. Black and dark grey cars usually need a two-step. The front intakes, the vents behind the wheels and the louvers over the engine are taped or worked with a small pad by hand, since a full-size machine cannot reach them safely. Badges, the prancing-horse shields and the rubber window seals are protected before polishing starts. Correction is always done at the shop in Katy under controlled lighting, and most owners follow it with the five-to-seven-year coating so the work survives the next car cover.

Ferrari paint

Ferrari paint is good but not especially hard, and the reds most cars wear show holograms under garage LEDs. Many cars carry full or front PPF from the dealer, so the first job is working out which panels are film and which are bare.
