@@ChromaticGarage no kidding all my life I’ve grown up in a body shop and have always enjoyed working on cars. But lately preserving them vs fixing them has caught my attention way more. Also less of a headache haha

This is absolutely stunning. The cinematic shots and the brilliant transformation is a perfect combination. I need to fix the paint on my car and I hope it turns out half as good as this! Keep up the great work!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank you Aaron! I was a little shocked with the quality of the paint under the defects to be honest. A very welcome surprise haha.

[@lancoston]

Well what to say ... I saw the notification of the new video, it was a joy. Perfect timing , 11 pm, just went to bed.... I enjoyed every minute of this amazing video, beautiful shots, beautiful music and impeccable work. Man you are the Man ! Hope you’ll never stop doing that. Ciao !

Thank you brother! I wish we could all detail together haha

[@typedrew]

A Mercedes driven through the 90s. I’m picturing just how many raggedy soft touch car washes that thing went through in its life to end up that rough. Beautiful result, great edits and music as always

I love that man! I actually purchased this from a lady who’s husband passed away. Out of pure desire and respect I am planning to get it in as good shape as I can. It’s currently at a mechanic getting a massive overhaul
