Starting at 4:00pm, on Wednesday, October 13th, and going until approximately 9:00pm, we will preparing the finish on this 1964 Bentley S3 for display at this years 2004 Irvine Concours d'Elegance (http://www.atscconcours.com/). This is one of approximately 175 Bentley S3's built. The car features right hand drive, Scarlet hides, a 6.2 liter V8 with twin Carburetors. The paint color is called Black Pearl and is a clear coat finish that is approximately 25 years old. As such, we will be proceeding with extreme caution as we carefully massage out the surface imperfection and restore a show car finish worthy of the Bentley marque.

While in the above pictures, it would appear as thought this car is immaculate in every dimension, (and it is compared to 95% of the cars on the road), however, closer inspection of the finish reveals that the paint needs a little polishing work in order to remove the swirls and take it to it's maximum potential.
Here's a shot of the finish on the driver’s side front fender under direct sunlight,
