Kinshu — Canberra's First RWB 997

We were lucky enough to be hands-on with Kinshu from start to finish — wet sanding after the repaint, PPF on the high-impact areas, then full ceramic over the lot.

What RWB actually is

RWB — Rauh-Welt Begriff — is the work of one man, Akira Nakai-san. Every build happens on-site, hand-fitted, with no two cars identical. Kinshu, built on this 997, is Canberra's first.

Why refinement after a repaint matters

New paint almost always carries some orange peel. Wet sanding, cutting and polishing levels that out before any protection goes on top — skip it, and you're sealing in a texture that was never meant to be permanent.

Work performed

• Wet sanding, cutting and polishing after the fresh repaint
• Paint Protection Film on the high-impact areas
• Full ceramic coating across the entire vehicle — paint, glass, wheels, interior

PPF handles the physical defence, ceramic coating adds the chemical layer over everything else — paint, glass, wheels and interior all brought to the same standard for consistency and easier upkeep. Getting trusted with a car like this, built by people at the top of their craft, is a genuine privilege.
