Default U won't be disappointed S2000 CR Paint Correction

The Honda S2000 CR is quite a vehicle. My customer found a brand spanking new one on a lot as these were brought out for 1 year, 2008. It needed some work getting all the swirls out. This car turned out great!

Take a look at the specs from Honda USA:

Premier Performance
Nothing exemplifies Honda racing skill and ingenuity like the S2000 CR

I've never seen Apex Blue look so good! I'm surprised however that you had to go with such an aggressive combo for the car. Great work! More info on the Finesse?

I'm not saying you didn't do good work, Phil. You clearly did

I was just surprised by the combo used.. Historically that's too aggressive for S2000's.. but this is a new color and a new year. My MY08 has decently "hard" paint, compared to other S2000's
