As a side note: I bought a front lip from Armando the other day, met the guy in person in Anaheim. He's as nice as ever, and explained to me why there were a few misunderstandings due to an extenuating circumstance in the past. I still believe that GT3Tek has quality products, and the service is coming back now that Armando is fully back in the picture. Great, authentic guy that absolutely shows his love of Porsches.
Decided to tackle the 91 small but annoying stone chips all over the front of my car. Took me all week but I’m pleased with the results. Really difficult to see them unless you know where to look or put your face within 2 feet of the hood.

Wow! Nice job. I've been wanting to do this for the million chips on my car!

Damn, solid work. Did you follow or reference something online for guidance? Can you share more direction?
Can see myself getting lost for a few days doing this over the summer

I had left over paint from the shop that did my Ducktail. I decided to mix the white and clear and do one stage since I figured it wasn’t going to turn out perfect anyway, the multi stage seemed excessive. I didn’t use the heat gun but I waited 24 hours after painting to sand flat. I’d say 3/4 of them wound up completely level while 1/4 of them shrunk enough that they were still ever so slightly below the surface but I decided to finish without doing another round to see how it would turn out. After I was done sanding with 2K, I did a machine polish with rubbing compound then an optical finishing polish. Added a sealer and wax after.

Nice job!.....I have had little success with any technique and arctic silver. Just no way to do it without it being visible. Fortunately I don't have anything that goes below primer. Pretty much anything like red, black, white ets come out very well. Metallics and especially silver are difficult depending on your expectations. 3M film should be factory applied IMO.
