That was a lot of effort put in on your part. Also, what is that a 996 GT3? Beautiful car do you track the 996? Only word of advice I have is to take off the door handles, door mouldings, fender moulding, side view mirros, and belt mouldings. The paint may flake back. Overall man that is good stuff
