another update my dad came home from work with a polisher ;) and he flatted the roof and polished it and oh my its like glass i actually cant believe how good its turned out. also as he works in a ar garage they said they will spray my last arch next week as they have got to spray a black car so saves me buying more paint.

then tomorrow big day the blue is going on :-
