Paint corrected and ceramic coated GTS pics
 
Got my 991.1 GTS back today and was 80% happy with the work. Found one area that needs a redo and one area by the sunroof that needs to have some more TLC.

It was a 2 step and 2 year coating. I am planning on spending some money on PPF later on and didn’t want to go crazy. Got it done for $1,000 so was not bad and it needed it.

Check out the reflections:

Looks great! For PPF I had mine redone recently and used https://www.invisiblecarbras.com. Dave is a one man shop and does great work. Highly recommend. Also who did you use?

Looks great!

Looks very nice. That's a good price for paint correction and ceramic coating.

Looks great, like a new car! My car goes in the first week of April to remove the old PPF, paint correction, 3/4 PPF cover and ceramic. Not doing the rear end. There would be too many seams in the PPF to cover the ducktail. Just putting some PPF behind the rear wheels. Hopefully new wheels/tires get installed this week.

What color white is that ?

You'll have to wait a few years for the ceramic to wear off before applying PPF. :corn:

Car looks so good. Love all of the upgrades. I was staying down at Orlando a few weeks ago, for the Daytona race. I should’ve messaged you, so I could stop by and see your car lol. Oh well, maybe next year 😂

Quick, light polish will remove the coating quite easily!

The car is carerra white and it’s a beautiful color in the sun.

I didn’t ceramic coat the front bumper as I was waiting for the paint to cure a full 45 days (new bumper and paint back in Jan).

In two weeks I will have them do the ppf film. They will ceramic coat it for free for me when it’s done.

Unfortunately I already have rock chips on the new bumper if you can believe it - my car seems to have the softest paint. Bugs love it as well.

So I will have to have those touched up first and then ppf done.

What I have also come to learn is that it’s never going to be perfect. I need to stop trying to make it an instagram model and enjoy some back roads.

Love your quote ^^

Love your car even more. The GT3 bumper , the GT3RS skirts , the CL wheels & thé stance . So clean so well executed !

Looks good. A paint correction could be $500 so if you put PPF on, you’re not out too much. Can always apply coating yourself to the new PPF. It’s much easier then most people think.

I did the same for my GTS. Will post pics when I take her out of hibernation.

Wizo - looks awesome BTW.
