1997 Porsche 911 C4S /Paint correction and LUSSO ORO
Black/Black

I don't know what to say but my customer recently bought this beautiful 993 C4S and its in great mechanical shape, interior is in excellent shape, and the body is in great shape for an 11 year old car. However the paint is another story. The paint felt like sandpaper and was filled with tons of fillers, swirls, light scratches, tons of imperfections.
