Car Revival: 2004 Infiniti G35 Black with Paint Correction

Black Infiniti Revival Detail

Vehicle & Condition

This 2004 Infiniti G35 underwent a serious transformation due to neglect from the previous owner. We had to deal with overall dirt from being left underneath a tree, tons of paint chipping/gauges, paint splatter loss, and absolutely no protection for the vehicle. Our goal was to revive the vehicle without going concours style. Client requested if the headlights could be restored and Infiniti letters de-badged, both completed!
