Thumbs up Lamborghini Diablo SV - Correction by Oakes

A rare Lamborghini Diablo SV has come from our good friends up at Fabspeed Motorsports after they did some exhaust and tuning modifications. This bull is loud!

The car came in fairly clean, but definitely showed some need for a proper correction and protection. The paint, while healthy, is also now 14 years old and in order to save it from unecessary correction and buffing later on, I protected this Bull with two layers of CQuartz ceramic coating.

The process on this Lambo took approximately 23 hours in total, the front end did not need correcting because it was wrapped in both clear film and matte vinyl. The tricky engine bonnet took up the time saved on the front end however!

A few photos of the paint before correction





Here are some 50/50 correction progress photos

- Look forward to another thread of these two beasts out on the road for a photoshoot together -




As always, thanks for looking! Feedback welcome and appreciated!

Nice! These are huge cars if you've never seen one in person. One of my relatives has a red one.
