About 8 hours for the work as well as needing time for the coating I put on it to fully cure.

Just uploading pictures now of the Lamborghini I did this week...

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a limited edition Lamborghini Gallardo with Gt3 Carbon fibre wing and side vents. At some stage the car had been repainted and was super super soft.

Condition before:

Pre wash soak:

Clay:

Measuring paint levels. I was told the paint job was done correctly and stripped completely back to metal. It read a very consistent reading of 257 besides the roof which was around 120. All panels were Nfe (Aluminum) or I couldn't get a reading from (Carbon Fibre) so caution was taken around those areas.

Looking good Hamish.

Are you still moving into a workshop?

May I ask where?

Thanks!

Yes, I am moving in mid december and will open the doors first of 2013 as I need to fit out the workshop. Will be spending a week painting the walls, floors, installing more detailing lights, setting up a wash bay, putting up signage as well as adding security and surveillance video etc.

It's located on Oaklands Road in Somerton Park :D

Great work. People really shouldn't let their cars get that bad in the first place, but that's a really well done restoration.
