So here's a question for you: are you going to respray to the quality from Porsche, or go for a top-shelf sort of finish that show cars get? Often times, the quality of a restoration style repaint is far above would would have come from the factory, IMO.

Given the car's incredible condition prior to the re-finish, it would be hard to put a sub-par job on the car. The sheet metal is absolutely virgin with ZERO damage. Basically ready for some blocking primer then color. The paint on the car will be very high quality.

There was a 550 Spyder that was once Jean Behrah's that the restorers did that to and exposed the beautiful blue paint underneath.
Would you mind sharing how exactly you did that and with what grit sandpaper? Thanks.

That's a secret
I can tell you that is has been done before in this shop.
