19, 2001 - The Scratch Happens |
| Below
are pics of my car after some hoodlum decided he didn't like
my paint job as it was. He took it upon himself to do some custom
finish work for me. Well, needless to say, I didn't appreciate
his work much. The first row of pics are from the day I took
it into the bodyshop for repairs. Please excuse the dust :-( |

| As
you can see, the scratch was pretty deep. I rubbed and rubbed,
but Zaino just wasn't
taking care of it for me. I took it into my insurance adjuster,
and was quoted almost $1000 for the repair! The scratch started
at the door, and ended up on the fender. The door scratch wasn't
as bad as the fender. While it was going to be at the shop,
I decided to have the front fascia, side skirts, and a small
ding on the door touched up. |

This
is my car in the cocoon stage. Someday it will hatch and become
a Roush Mustang (I hope). The body work is being done by Ken
at Platinum Auto Body. Give Ken a call at 408.234.8868. They have a great booth, and
Ken has ample skill. He has not only taken care
of the scratch, but done repairs on the front fascia, door,
and both side skirts.

30 - Ready for paint! |
 |

 |
 |
| Primered
and ready to go. It was really difficult seeing my car like
this! The work that has been done is incredible. Everything
that has been sanded is smooth as glass. All of the damaged
areas are so clean. Ken has filled and sanded some little pits
that were hardly even noticeable. It is going into the paint
booth today, and I should get it back this weekend. |

31 - We have paint! |
 |
 |
| The
paint was shot on Friday night, and it looks incredible!! The
photos above show Ken putting the final finishes on the hood.
There were a couple of small scratches that he was able to buff
out. I could not believe the amount of work that went into this.
Even *after* the paint was applied, Ken spent more than 10 hours
doing re-assembly, sanding, buffing, polishing, and washing.
The results are awesome!! Check the pics below. Thanks Ken
and Platinum!!! Give Ken a call - 408.234.8868. He can take care of your Roush body kit install and paint as well as repair from scratches and dings. |
