Cheers Tom, I really am :)

Just to let everyone know I'm just having my breakfast then I'm off out to mask to other side of the car and spray it.
So there will be photos up tonight.

I just cant stop smiling.
The finish is by no means perfect as i did get a run on the front valence -

This doesn't really bother me though as it looks worse in the photo.

I can now finally get on with other jobs such as electrics interior etc whilst the paint fully hardens.
After its fully hardened i will be giving it a full Mop and Polish

Please please please let me know what you think

Thanks again.
Andrew.

Looks great, will look even better after a Colour sand and polish. That run on the valance, you can save that with a bit of wet sanding, no?
