Hi, All - time for another corny posting from The GTS Chronicles. This one I call (roughly) "what have The GTS Chronicles Cayman and Boxster been up to during the sleep of winter"?

The answer:



And the same on vimeo, for those not on Instagram:

I’ve used Dr Color chip on my Cayman also and it worked very well. I had around 5 chips to fix after 9 driving months. Looks like you had a lot more than me. What was the cause of most and were they mostly from European driving?

I think so, yeah... but also I kind of got carried away and tried to fix pretty much everything I could see while using a 10X cosmetic magnifier. Probably any hood in the world would reveal tons of chips using that.

But for the record I filled/fixed about 100 to 150 chips on each hood. Took a while! however, I'd say of those, only about 10-20 per hood were chips that I would call big or notable.

Looks great. I have a 30x magnifier to check the paint on the mode dial covers I sell, and they can definitely drive you crazy with 'blemishes' that are undetectable my the human eye. Reminds me of those pictures of dust mites under a microscope -- they look terrifying at 30x but they are too small to even see normally.

Exactly, yes - I have noticed the same thing. I have to reset my picky-ness meter every once in a while or I get carried away.
