Famous Singer’s Mom’s C7 Corvette Shows Up Looking Rough
Shoddy custom work and being abandoned for some time add up to some problems for this C7.
Poor Quality
Finding a reputable shop to work on cars is oftentimes difficult, whether you’re simply seeking basic repairs or customization. That much is clearly evident from this C7 Corvette purchased recently by singer Chris Brown, who a wide body kit installed and the whole thing repainted in Lime Green by some shop. The quality of that work wasn’t the greatest, however, as we can see in this video from a custom shop called RBD LA.
Burned Paint
According to RBD LA, the paint on this Corvette was “burnt” from sitting outside in the sun for a while to the point where the clear coat was completely gone in some places. Brown wanted to just have the car wrapped, but the shop discovered that the paint was poor enough shape that such a job wouldn’t have looked right, anyway.
Smoothed Out
Thus, the team sanded down the C7 so that everything was smooth, after which they’ll wrap it to give it a fresh look. However, the Corvette will be sticking with green as Brown’s mom is apparently a huge fan of that particular hue, and since he gifted it to her, it will keep its current theme through this renovation.
Body Work
Luckily, it seems as if the body kit install isn’t the worst, as the team doesn’t mention having to do any repairs of that nature. However, in another part of the video, while working on a Ferrari that’s in the shop, they do mention having to fix its body kit since it was installed with some double-sided tape, which has faded over time.
Trustworthy Business
Regardless, the most important takeaway here is to find a shop you can trust before dishing out large amounts of cash to get something done. Of course, some folks simply do everything themselves, but not everyone is a master mechanic. Finding one, however, can save you a ton of money and a lot of headaches over the long term.
