Oh my, wow. Just... Wow. That finish is incredible. Bet you nearly fell over when you first saw it, didn't you? I've followed this thread for months and months watching this lucky car come together, and by god have you done a good job. All the hard work you have put in over the past months has been so worthwhile - you have yourself a beautiful car, cherish it. More pictures!!!

cheers mate, now that would be telling but it cost around 4 times that of my original quote, but it was still a good price for the quality

That is a very very good paint job if its as good in real life as it is in the pictures,looks top notch and I am only slightly jealous, but we shal see as I am spraying mine next week so I now know what i have to beat in quality.


just dont forget to buy some masking tape and tape up all edges when fitting panels (make sure paint has fully set!!!) just so you dont end up chipping edges and dont scratch it!

a tip with the tape as well is when you get some off the roll stick it to you then put it on the car, looses some of the sticky ness and is less likely to do damage and dont leave it on for too long or get wet as it really sticks when it gets wet and leaves a lot of mess.

Cant wait to see this done now!

Fair enough.
