Its not as good as it looks!! I'm happy with it though, a quick flat and polish and it should be better.

I may flat it all back and then chuck a final coat on it yet, that would really finish it off.

Well got him out the garage to have a look if the paint had fallen off!!

(It hasn't!!)

I'm pretty happy with him, its a huge huge improvement on him, although there are areas that could be better, a flat and a polish will help.

My wife says I'm being too picky and it looks fine, which to the fair it does, I can just see every imperfection on him!

PICTURES!!!

Cheers Luke!!

You've actually helped me make my mind up...

Seeing those 2 pictures side by side has convinced me to repaint as the colour is wrong!!

Its way too orange for bronze yellow.

I'll get the remainder of the paint tinted to the correct colour and chuck a couple of coats on him.

Leave it, Shifts. Stick all the chrome back on, a nice set of wire wheels & he'll look grand.
