THE COLOUR HAS STARTED!

Neil wanted to try out this brand of paint (which he hadn't used before) and my spray gun so he did my R lights

And the front slam panel

The pictures are crap because the light was low in my spray booth - the garage door was down. The finish is really good.

I'm loving the colour - it will be lighter in reasonable light but I like the darker look anyway - my decals are really going to pop against this
