Cool RUF RS's 991.2 Miami Blue GT3 - Paint correction/clear bra/nano

Late last year we had the pleasure of a repeat GT3 owner reach out to us for a new GT3 project. We were given the specifics and what stood out the most....Miami Blue was the PTS color.

Here's her journey at the asylum.

Paint Correction Process

She arrived safe and sound and after a proper wash and decontamination, she was in our polishing room where the usual factory imperfections were revealed







Factory sand marks removal process









Once paint correction is complete, vehicle gets a VERY thorough wash to remove all polishing dust in preparation for clear bra installation





Clear bra installation Process



Tow hook cut-out is NOT pre-cut. We want to hand-trim this area for a precise fit and finish



Bottom spoiler lip removed for seamless edge wrap. The more edges that are wrapped inside seams, the more coverage and it also protects for more time since no exposed edges get dirt in them



Bumper near completion. Edges wrapped, ready to be hand-trimmed for a tailored and finished look







Only pre-cut area of bumper left behind since the software allows for precise round cut-out. It's up to the installer to now install correctly and symmetrically



Corners wrapped with no visible edge or seam





Nearly entire pattern is extended for maximum coverage. Almost a near-custom installation. Maximum protection and best overall aesthetics













Pre-trim



Post-trim





Protecting headlights is a MUST











Extended rockers to further protect the rock-chip prone areas. We actually apply two layers of coverage here. Second layer is the disposable one that can be removed down the road while leaving the larger, extended piece in pristine shape









Two layers, one seam



CQuartz Finest Reserve Nano Coating Process







Final Photos











Our amazing professional photographer responsible for these beauty shots below











One happy owner

One of the handful of PPF installers that does it the right way. This is a fine example of, you get what you pay for. Nice work Moe.

Moe - looks awesome, love your attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. Can't wait to take my .2 GT3 to your shop for the full monty.

Had some questions:

- Which brand for clear bra was chosen and why if I might ask?

- This seemed like the recommended front clip + rockers wrap vs. full car?

Hi Sam:

This project was done with Suntek PPF Ultra. We originally used 3M Pro v.4 because of the 5-year chip warranty.

We had a bad batch and had to replace the hood and fenders with Suntek, and the bumper, rockers, and headlights were 3M.

This client opted for the full front and extended rockers. On a GT3, that's bare minimum we recommend.

If you want a uniform look, added protection, and self-healing swirl-free finish ALL the time, do a full wrap. It's more $$$$, but well-worth the peace of mind if you find the previous attributes I listed of value

That is some very good work.

The only thing I opted not to wrap was the headlights due to possible delamination. I would be interested if you have had any issues if you need to take the Film off/replace for any reason

We've done hundreds of 991 headlights, no delamination. We've even removed film from a few years ago as well, not an issue.

Hey Moe. So you would definitely recommend 3M for the PPF?

What's your take on installing a windshield film?

We install clearplex. It's an excellent product that lasts a few years, then you remove and install new one. Definitely helps against rock chips since Porsche glass is pretty soft and susceptible to pitting

When the film behaves, yes, it's amazing and the warranty cannot be beat.

Smile RUF RS Chiming in...

Moe has done both of my GT3's. The first one was white, and looked AMAZING..but this one? The Miami Blue paint was literally TRANSFORMED...the pictures really do not do the paint justice, as nice as they are. The color, and depth, and richness is astonishing....

Moe is honest and thorough and meticulous and just the BEST at what he does. AND...he's a great guy who I consider a friend...
If you have an appointment coming up you will not be disappointed!
