Correction and Coating on a 2009 Corvette

Client wanted to get this Corvette protected as it sits outside 24/7 all year round and he's about 3 hours north of me which means it see's some pretty crappy weather in the winter. After discussing his needs, we decided on a single stage correction and OCPro. Keith wanted good correction but was more concerned with the quality of protection afforded by Opti Coat. The first pass was done with Rupes 21 / Megs MF cutting disc and Megs M100. That was followed up with Rupes yellow foam and Opti Coat Primer. Protected with Opti Coat Pro and final wipedown with Opti Seal.

Upon delivery


50/50 after first pass with M100. It left the paint around 90% correct.


Old wax build up removed with Pre Wow.


Loving my Bendpak hoist for polishing lower regions on cars like this.


Some afters.

Great job Ken! Totally jealous of the hoist. Doing lowered cars, especially can really take a toll.

Is your Bendpak a low rise or mid lift?
I'm thinking about picking one up for the garage at home.

Great work!

Really interested in getting one of these hoists for at home. Would make servicing so much easier to get the car off the ground.
