More of an issue on winged cars vs GT3T, but the wart can be removed and hole filled in. FYI.

Thanks, but I have a pathological aversion to unnecessary paint work. 9/10 times by 10 years out you can tell a difference so I am looking for a plug.

i understand completely. Fortunately this is that outlier. My GT3 looks fantastic! Talk to Moe at glistening perfection.

No doubt his work is great. Just not my path. And the issue is rarely apparent initially, it is that over time paint fades at different rates. I suppose I hate paint work more than the wart.

Thanks!! Is the black stuff the remaining adhesive pad that needs to be removed? How do you plan to get it off?

Also, would you mind showing a shot of how it's actually accessed from below? I popped my lid earlier today and couldn't figure out how to access the plug/Torx screw...

Is that Olive Green? Curious for the list- are you the original owner? Production month and dealer state? Thanks!

I respectfully disagree with that statement and would also like to clarify.

you make a valid point if the quality of the repair is done poorly.

in the automotive industry, there are many that just want to say YES to a customer to make the sale at any price point. Customer complains price is too high, shop lowers price AND quality.

our approach is simple and goes back the bygone days of when things were done right, and that was the main objective.

when we take on any project, it’s understood to us that the work should stand the test of time if properly maintained.

the approach we took on the wart-delete option, and any paint repair, is doing the job right the first time. Will we be fast, economical, and charge what client “feels” as it’s worth...NO.

we are a specialist service provider/advisor. We do things truly the right way and the cost is what value we provide at the quality the service is rendered.

hope that makes sense and I know we’re in a small category, but with the support of communities like Rennlist/Porsche, we don’t need to look elsewhere to thrive in our business. There are plenty of enthusiasts that just want things done right and don’t want to bother with “just OK” or “industry standards “ 👌

Moe,

No criticism of your work was intended. From what I can see it is top notch. If done early in a car’s life and the factory primer, paint and clear is used and the depth of paint is the same as factory, there should be no noticeable fade difference ever. I just have a couple vehicles where it was supposed to be done to factory spec and, even still, I have different fade rates. Maybe because the panels were not stripped, maybe a different paint was used. Maybe it is the filler underneath? I don’t know why, but the flaws were not obvious for a long time so I have developed my aversion to paint work. And any paint work now, I just replace panels with no filler. I have gone so far as to find used panels in original paint to match the fade.
