The 2002 Ducati 998s Limited Edition Bostrom Race Replica features one of Ducati's most intricate factory paint jobs. Repairs are even more challenging as the panels are carbon fiber.
Below are the steps taken to return a damaged panel to "better than factory finish".
What follows highlights the quality and effort that we put into every job that is undertaken at CCR.

The Challenge: Having recently purchased one these rare bikes (only 155 were created), the customer wanted to return it to original condition. As you can see, the previous owner inflicted various types of damage to the panel.
Prep of the damaged areas: The first step required is to "feather edge" all of the damaged areas.
Serious Damage...Serious Prep: Multiple colors and types of damage require various repair techniques. Here I razor cut the clear coat around the Red area to isolate the damage  that spans the Red and Yellow layers.
Fill: All low spots are now filled in. Here you can also see another razor cut which is in the clear coat at end of the flame in lower right hand corner.
Final Prep: All filled areas are sanded and ready for paint. Painstaking repair and preparation is how each job is approached to insure a high quality finish.
Painting: Masking and Airbrushing in the "Yellow" layer.
Painting: Airbrushing in the "White" layer
Painting: Airbrushing in the "Blue" layer.
Painting: Airbrushing in the "Gray" layer.
Painting: Mask and spray the "Red" layer.
Color Painting Done: Now ready to start the "clear coat' process
Clear Coating: First application of multiple coats of the hi-solids clear.
Sand for Re-Clearing: Now I must sand the repaired areas and build up enough clear layers to match the clear I preciously razor cut.
The Finished Product Panel has been re-cleared and wet sanded with 1500 grit to a completely flat finish which is BETTER than Factory OEM from Ducati!
