2012 GT-R


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. Below you will find a 2012 GT-R in Jet Black. It belongs to my long term client (I recently started to maintain it weekly for him).

The paint on this one was surprisingly hard, which was nice change from the usual FR-S/BRZ I've been doing. This detail took a little over 12 hours, which isn't too bad considering how thorough it was since I had to prep it for Opti Guard.
