Vince-- Wow ^^

Having admired your 993 on the concours lawn plus on the track, I can vouch that it looks even better in person.

Beautiful execution!

Wow --- That is really impressive. Well done!

May I ask you to elaborate more on the re-dye process? Did you have various choices in your dye-vendor and may you articulate your thought process in selecting the dye-vendor? I ask because I would assume there are many kinds of dye out there there has to be some gradient on risk / durability / ease of application vs. cost.

For the areas in the photographs below, are these areas in green circles a result of the dye not taking set?

A perfect example while mileage is not going to matter at all with these cars. It's all in the condition. Such a classic.
