What a beautiful finish. Would have liked to see the before images to see how much of an improvement. The title hints that this was repainted to match. I could not see any difference in the video what was done? If it was just detailed it is great job...is that considered correcting the paint???

Reason to not buy a Ferrari if you picked up any road debris you would cry yourself to sleep every night until you fixed it. Then I would be afraid to drive it again. They are indeed a work of art. I would have to have two of em. One to drive the **** out of and the other to just dedicate a garage spot for with drool buckets!!! That is an amazing car!

How many Elise front clams is that thing worth?

BTW: Yes I do have two Elises in my garage! Yes one is my daily driver!

WTF is paint correction i say... :

"Paint correction is the process of mechanically polishing a cars paint to remove surface imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidization & damage caused by birdlime or chemical fallout. This involves removing the top layer of paint; usually only between one and 3 microns is require to be removed to achieve correction. "
