I don’t know if it makes a difference but when I had my Pista wrapped (full body) they paint corrected it and it looks spectacular. The paint on Ferraris is so bad that there were tons of swirl marks that were removed.
Now my GT3 I’m having is factory wrapped on the front. Obviously they won’t paint correct it. I’ll let you know if it makes a difference. With regards to cerwmic coating on top- just makes cleaning easier although I’m starting to think ceramic coating is a joke.
Thank you this is very interesting probably for many people who are considering having the front wrapped so that our cars are protected for ED driving.. but won't have paint correction. A lot of conflicting info out there.. again mine only comes from "beer talk" with some ppf professionals who sort of admitted that you really can't tell once ppf is on. Let us know what you think.
Agreed that Ceramic coating definitely makes it easier to clean
seriously,? the shortage will continue for years ,and these gt3 wil be selling easily for 75k over sticker.......... i now it.............this chip thing will continue for reasons i am not getting into ,,,,,,.dont have the time right now
Had a long drive up from Nashville yesterday in my Jeep and I heard a story that the chip shortage could easily go into 2023...I'm not sure how much better it gets next year.

There will be tons of opinions on PPF, paint correction and coatings. I say none or wrong or right, depends on the owner. I’m **** about my cars and honestly I can always find something on paint, and no one can unless you’re a professional in that line of work. My speedster full front and I can’t tell the difference and never paint corrected looks good my point of view. Overtime you will say it’s a car to drive, and all things wear.
Unless the imperfections on the paint are drastic, you will not see them under PPF. Correction for normal surface imperfections pre PPF is a complete waste.
Ceramic coating on top off PPF is a no brainer. Extra layer of protection and the hydrophobic properties make for much easier detailing of the car.

This is so true. Worst factory paint condition I have ever seen was on my father's 458 spider. I've never seen so many surface swirls on a brand new car in my life, let alone a $300k+ car. They were easy to correct but was still blown away as to how bad it was

Here you go- pictures of my Pista before full body wrap. This was supposedly after the dealership had done a pre delivery correction of the paint. Now will the PPF cover all these marks? I dont know but me and my installer weren't willing to take a chance. Porsche paint is much much better from the factory and Ive never seen anything like this.
That is crazy. I don’t know much about Ferrari but have heard about this paint thing for years. Is it just how it is coming out of the factory or something else?

That was after paint correction from the dealership. Maybe the correction wasnt needed before PPF but damn if I was going to take the chance.

You heard correctly. My friend owns a Ford dealership and the chip shortage is just ONE of the problems car manufacturers are facing.

I love the speedster! Beautiful car. I'm not usually about cabriolet or convertibles (except the targa I love)... But the speedster hits that sweet spot for me when I'd rarely love to have a convertible. It's just so classy looking for a gt3 drivetrain!

Thx, it’s the engine that makes it magic first Speedster with the GT3 engine which is a carry over to the 992 GT3. A blast to drive as you really hear the engine sing.
