Re: Back in beige
Superb, great colour choice. A final finish like that makes all the effort and frustrations you put in worthwhile
You'll enjoy fitting that up now.
Cheers
Jon

Re: Back in beige
You're right. I'm really glad I finally listened to everyone else and had a proper painter do the bit you can see. Best decision ever.

Re: Back in beige
Believe me, the only reason the car looks as good as it does is the hours of prep that went into the shell beforehand....
....I've had to listen to Rich spout on and on about how well Jamie did in prepping the shell. If I've heard it once!..............it's gotten kinda boring!
OK, I'll say it one last time......
....JAMIE, YOU DID A GREAT JOB!

Re: Back in beige
Looking forward to the build up.

Re: Back in beige
The right decision - you've ended up with a superb paint finish plus the unexpected added bonus of glowing praise from the professionals about all of the blood sweat & tears you invested ...
