There's no denying the racing history that is the Shelby name and the new 350R is exactly that! The GT350R stacked with its suspension upgrades and carbon fiber goodies is ready to hit the track from the factory.... after some paint protection film and protective coatings of course!

Unfortunately, given its track oriented build style this vehicle sat on a showroom for sometime and was subjected to countless days of dusting and quick dealership washes. Along with being a softer black paint we were in for some work.

2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R

- Multi Stage Paint Correction

- Level 3 Full Front Paint Protection Package

- Crystal Serum Ultra Black Protective Coating Package

- Wheels Off Coating

As with all of our projects we begin with a full decontamination wash. This consists of a foam bath to help break up and contaminants from the surface. Followed by the application of iron/ fallout remover, rinse, 2 bucket hand wash, rinse and a deep clay bar session. These initial steps are some of the most important when paint protection film and protective coatings are applied.

One of the most common questions we get asked is "my vehicle is brand new, why would I need a paint correction?"

Unfortunately, before you take delivery of a vehicle they go through assembly, inspections, transportation, pre delivery inspections and the purchase wash. If you vehicle was inventory then it can get washed weekly where it is rinsed off and dried with the same towel as the rest of the inventory. This GT350R came into the shop with 120 miles and was riddled with rotary burns, deep scratches and swirls.

Once the vehicle is polished to the desired level of gloss and clarity we move onto the other services.

We start with the level 3 paint protection film package. This coverage consists of the hood, fenders, bumper, a-pillars, front part of roof, headlights, fog lights and mirror caps. Vents were pulled and badges are removed to give a very clean install.

Once all of the paint protection film is complete, the paint then received a wipe down with a coating prep. This ensures all soaps, compounds and polishing liquids are free from the surface and the coating can bond to the raw paint. All paint received Crystal Serum Black service which is a layer of Crystal Serum Ultra and topped with 2 coats of EXO. The paint protection film is coated with Gtechniq Halo.

Thats a wrap on this project!

This vehicle is now protected from everything Denver, CO has to throw at it for years to come!
