As the new Audi RS3 begins arriving at dealerships across the country, we knew it was only a matter of time before we got our first one. A few weeks ago, a beautiful Nardo Gray RS3 stopped by our shop with plans to install XPEL paint protection film in high impact areas and apply C.Quartz professional paint over the entire car. Let’s get started:
Since the car is so new, very little paint restoration was needed.
It all starts with thorough cleaning and decontamination, followed by light blending and buffing to bring the paint to flawless perfection.
Once polishing is complete, you can start installing the paint protection film.
All of our paint protection films are computer cut, giving us a perfect template every time.
Once cut, the film is loosely taped and positioned to fit.
Once perfectly aligned, it is time for final installation.
Whenever possible we use a larger film. This allows the excess film to be wrapped around the edges, making for a neater installation.
Once the XPEL has been applied and cured, we can begin the coating process. All painted surfaces, glass, lights and trim are hand coated, and wheels and brake calipers are also spray coated to ensure complete protection.
The coating is then baked to reach the optimal curing temperature.
Here is the finished product. It is just as beautiful as it was before it came into the shop, but now fully protected. I am sure this will not be the last RS3 we receive, and I speak for all of us when I say we can’t wait to get our next one!
