This 1971 Pontiac Trans Am has stayed with the same owner for over 40 years. It has been meticulously restored and maintained over the decades, including a respray in the early 2000s. However, the paint had never been properly corrected. Unfinished sanding marks from the body shop, along with swirls and scratches from the past 20+ years of use plagued the finish.
A multi-step compound and polish was performed across the entire car, along with spot sanding in some areas with deeper defects. To quote the client, "this is the best this car has ever looked".
Once the finish was looking flawless, the body was coated with Modesta BC-X and the wheels were coated with Modesta BC-06 to help keep it looking this way for years to come.
I started out in my career with jobs and cars exactly like this one, and it was a pleasure to go back to my roots in a sense.
If you're looking for a shop to bring out the most of your collector car, look no further than RM Auto Spa.
