Cleaning up 78K of rock chips and spoiler scrapes. Removing a 12 year-old clearbra had also peeled off a couple of chunks of clearcoat.

Can't wait to pick her up!

A few more...

Nice. What was the cost? Thinking about my bumper

rpm's S2

Going to be about $3500 all told. Insurance is paying some for the clearcoat damage. Full, quality glass out respray was $12K. Just not logical on a much loved, but ultimately $20K car.

But now with the wheels refinished, the front resprayed, and lowered with Eibach springs and Konis, she is ready for another 80K. Until something else breaks. #OldPorscheLife

Nice! Looks great! Curious,.. How did you get insurance to cover some of the cost. Never heard of this. Collectors car insurance?

Nice.

Just don't tell me you are going to put a bra on it.

rpm's S2

Nope. USAA. Just explained that I had damaged the car removing the old clear bra. No different than if something fell on the car in the garage. They accepted claim for a fender and part of the hood. I haven't had a claim that was my fault since (thinks some, realizes it was 1987, and feels old)... a long time ago, this one won't raise my rates.

rpm's S2

No. I'm just going to accept what the road gives me.

And actually it was a degrading clear bra left too long on repainted panels that caused the non-factory clear to peel off in chunks.

Sweet, you know that's what I like to hear.

Very nice! I just had the nose of my '03 C2 resprayed. It looks great. I had the wheels sprayed black, too while the car was in the shop. Huge improvement. (fwiw, photo was sent to me by the bodyshop guys -I'm not one of these ******* who runs with the wing "up" all the time)

This is a job on my list too. About a million rock chips and small scratches in the hood and bumper. Hard to justify the cost of a great full respray for a driver but the chips are starting to irritate me. Looks great!

Would really like to see finished pics showing the blend/match from front fender to door.

But I am one of those *******...

Looks great!

Looks great! Glad to hear that insurance covered some of it. I may pursue that. I'm about to remove a 13 year old clear bra from mine. In the last year it has begun to crack and look terrible. I'm not excited about the removal process and I know I'll need to respray the bumper at the very least. Hopefully the hood and fenders will be OK!

$3500 for a front end respray? Geez.
