Car hasn't been this shiny since December 1999. Maybe not even then!

This is what occasioned the work, an on-track incident at Hyper-R-Fest:

Wait... you repainted your track only ITR?

Any reason why? Also, did you paint the whole car?

Looks good.

I replaced the entire door since I had an extra. New OEM fender and paint on both with no blending. I think Georges' car has not seen a spec of wax or a good cleaning since it was new.

Once I hung the door and fender, I decided to polish out the whole car since it was VERY in Need! Looking good and ready to go for next weekend.

Looks like the entire car got repainted. After all, everybody knows there's no such thing as a black ITR.

I used to do this when I worked at a bodyshop. The other people who worked there thought I was crazy but it felt good returning a customer's car better than how it arrived.
