🚨 Check Out The Transformation On This 29-Year-Old Mitsubishi Verada! 🚨
The owner thought the paintwork on this Verada looked pretty good for its age... but we could already see there was much more potential hiding underneath years of built-up contamination, oxidation and layers of old polish.
Before any polishing could begin, the surface needed to be thoroughly, decontaminated and scrubbed cleaned back to bare paint. Once the years of buildup had been removed, the true condition of the paint was revealed - dull, oxidised and covered in the usual swirl marks accumulated over nearly three decades of use.
This is the baseline we start from.
From there, we carried out a machine correction to restore clarity, gloss and colour before sealing the bare polished finish with a durable ceramic coating for long-term protection.
The owner couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the finished result.
This Verada underwent our proven multi-day paint correction and ceramic coating process including:
✔️ Full wash, decontamination & preparation
✔️ Machine paint correction & refinement with Modesta C-02
✔️ Modesta P-01A coating primer
✔️ Modesta BC-X ceramic coating to paintwork
✔️ Infrared heat lamp curing
✔️ Finished with Modesta M1 Shot
One thing I've learnt after 25 years in this industry is that people who have never experienced a proper paint correction and ceramic coating service often underestimate what's possible. They look at faded, tired paint and immediately say, "Just respray it."
The reality is that many vehicles don't need a respray.
A skilled detailer can often restore original paintwork far beyond what most people think is possible.
And while some people compare the cost of a professional correction and ceramic coating package to the price of a cheap respray, they're not comparing apples with apples.
A $2,500 ceramic coating package, performed properly, can deliver incredible results on original factory paint.
A $2,500 respray? In most cases, that's likely to be a shortcut-filled job that creates more problems than it solves, and it still doesn't include the level of surface preparation, paint correction or ceramic coating protection that this Verada received.
Likewise, not all paint correction and ceramic coating services are created equal. Two businesses may charge vastly different prices, but the preparation work, products used, equipment, workshop environment, experience and final result can be worlds apart.
Original factory paint is worth preserving wherever possible, and this Verada is a perfect example of why.
