hi Harlan,

3 layers of clear coats were applied. Now the painting is slightly thicker than factory (150-160 micron instead of 110-120) If there were only 2 layers, the thickness were similar to factory standards.

thanks for the compliment!

yes, the paint is glasurit. But you can choose some other well known companie's paint. There is a large price range for this kind of work depends on quality and the paint shop. Unfortunetly sometimes there's a reverse connection between price and quality

it was not so easy to find a shop, who is ready to remove the painting by hand do the complete work and take the time it's neccessary for a good quality work. Most shops rather paint 3 toyotas than 1 Porsche in the same time.

I have found a small shop with some enthusiastic guys, who can accept my wishes and quality control and don't charge me 3x.

ps: i'll send you a Pm with numbers

Arpad -
While you have rear PU off, you may want to remove and inspect shielding all the way to the cat, as well as inspect and possibly repaint rear PU supports:

RP993,
You may want to read post #28 and later #87 (I think) here and see if you've got the same issues, while you are in there:

Since yours was a CA (only?) car it might not be an issue...

Nice to see some love put into these cars!

RP993

thanks for the advice! i've checked the thread and it's very interesting! I will talk with my mechanic guy and we will check this issue at the next service. The car is already mounted complete, i will post the pics soon!

As the body getting like new, i had to take care about the interior. The black leather had some marks during the years which needs some help.

When you first posted, I was wondering why you would strip a car that looks to be fine. Now I see why, it looks new!

Thanks for taking the time to share your project.

RP993

there is a big difference for me between "fine" and "looks to be fine"

just joking and thanks for your comment!

RP993

not just for the front, but for the rear seats also! Original Porsche, cost a fortune

hello to Everyone!

first of all, happy eastern!

Yesterday i could take a look on my car! here's some photos. Sorry, but the light condition wasn't too optimal. But promise, there will be more and better pictures.

to tell the truth, beside the visual joy there was some ride also

the car is eqquipped with brand new Bilsten B6 sport shocks (tested on Nordschleife) and Eibach Pro springs. The factory shocks were at the end of their lifetime and i wanted some more sporty setup. After a short drive a was suprised, that the ride quality is much finer and smoother than with the old factory setup!!!

it worth every penny!
