Anyone who’s spent half an hour sticking reflective dots across a car hood before firing a single scan line knows the frustration. On a vintage Porsche awaiting restoration, those markers can’t touch original paint. Museum artifacts prohibit them entirely. The markers aren’t the point of the job, but until now, there’s been no way around…
