$65,000 Paint Restoration for This Porsche 918 Spyder!

When this beautiful Porsche 918 Spyder Hypercar came to us, it had a vinyl wrap all over the car that had been applied to take the car on a rally. Unfortunately, vinyl wraps do not protect paint anywhere near as well as PPF (paint protection film), and when we removed the vinyl the car had a noticeable number of stone chips.
Just like us, the owner of this car has an eye for detail and gave to go ahead to make the car perfect again. However, from Porsche, the paint was a $65,000 option, so it wasn't going to be an easy task. We professionally stripped the car, prepared the panels for painting, and carefully applied all the layers required to perfectly match the factory finish of Porsche Liquid Metal.
After that, we flattened and polished every panel to produce reflections that meet the Topaz standard, and locked in that perfect paint with our full paint protection film package, covering every painted and carbon section with a virtually invisible gloss protection layer. This prevents stone chips, scratches, and swirl marks, guaranteed for a minimum of 5 years.
The final step was to add Acid Green details for the customer, and then ceramic coat the entire body to repel dirt and water. Just like that, we have the perfect Porsche 918!

For those who are unsure, Porsche Liquid Metal is a $65k option when new from Porsche. This treatment does not cost $65k

I understand, but in what order should i think when it comes to the price of the treatment?

It’s best to check how the light reflects on the panels when they sit on the car to make sure they’re all perfect first

When a paint job costs more than my yearly salary

[@pope400]

As a car guy, I've been known to justify some absurd costs. But I'm not sure I can get behind this kind of money. I love the service for what it is and I think Topaz are second to none, but that number doesn't make sense and I think that this is another example of how the rich don't know when they're being scammed.

[@DisabledTeamYT]

Jon are you joking?

[@amarrashid599]

The rich have too much money so they dont mind probabaly paying double of this until the job is done. A stage 2 correction for me and I'm happy lol which would cost a fraction of this by someone credible or has footage showing good work. Just shop around

Gustavo de Caires Anhaia A repainted car will never be worth the same as a original example now and certainly not in the future. A true collector or dealer will slate the car 100%.

[@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx876]

I didn't understand it too.. Didn't made any sense to repaint a car for some rockchips. There is 100% chance that the color from the rest of the car is a little bit off, or if it is painted completely, people can tell that it has been repainted and will wonder if it has been crashed...
