blue_ixxi Report post Posted 14February My Arrow Blue '79 911 SC's paint needed some TLC., The guards had been painted by Exclusive Bodyworks in 2005/06, and the rest of the car had been painted in 1998/99 during full restoration at Porsche Melbourne. The paint looked fresh from a few meters away, but on a closer look there was bubbling in some places on the door & roof. Being wide-bodied the guards & the sill panels had copped up a fair bit of stone chips. After enquiring about fixing the paint issues at a few shops, including Exclusive Bodyworks, decided to reach out to Trung from Powderhouse, whom I saw featured painting "Marty's STI" in a MightyCarMod's video. Trung responded quickly, and on meeting seemed genuinely enthusiastic about working on my 911, so I decided to go with him. He gave me a 3 week turnaround for a full body, glass out, doors in, bars out respray and gave me a quote that sounded reasonable. He seemed really passionate & knowledgeable in paint work, having worked in quite a few prestige bodyshops over his career with lots of experience in high end European cars (Lambos, Ferraris, Bentleys, Porsches etc). Decided to go with him, and I am so glad that I did! - outstanding quality of work. I got the car back today and it is looking like new from factory (I wasn't even born back then 😉so wouldn't know exactly!) - amazing attention to detail. I am quite OCD about my Porsche, but he far exceeded even my OCD and there were occasions when I had to tell him to take it easy! - honest bloke, was fully transparent with anything came up in the car, presented the options to me, and dealt in a very professional manner - kept me daily updated on the progress of the car and I was amazed at the speed at which he got my job done (Marty comments the same about his work in his video as well) - strong work ethics, delivered everything that he promised right to the T, including delivering the car in 3 weeks as promised (I was told at least 6-8 weeks by other shops) - best quality materials - primer, paint, clear, polish etc - easy to deal with, no BS, and no Porsche-tax in pricing - and finally, what shone through was his passion & love for his job, the obsession for getting the best result for his client's car. Some pics below - again photos don't do justice, so look forward to showing the car in person at one of the meets/ drives. Strongly recommend Trung. Feel free to reach out to him if you want to get your Porsche resprayed or any panel/ paint issues addressed. - Email: admin@powderhouse.co - https://www.powderhouse.co/ - Facebook - Instagram PS: I have no business affiliation with Trung. Just really impressed by his work, so decided to leave him a review here. 8 JWM, edgy, crsedge and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
