Cool

I was at the garage this morning and she looked a wee bit unhappy. Sitting in the booth with no doors on. All trim including window surrounds were taken off. Wheel arch liners removed. Bonnet and boot in primer.
I never realised how many dents and imperfections their was.

So the next stage will be full primer then after the flatting they will start on applying the base Yellow then after more flatting the top Yellow will be applied. Then eventually the lacquer. Before the final machine polish.

I suspect it's too late to turn back now, so, like yourself, I look forward to seeing the finished product.
