Default Respray

Decided to get my 260 touched up but the guy who runs the bodyshop said it needs blocking back and a total respray. If I want it to look really good he advised base coat and clear, so here it is before the undercoat goes on

Here you go - excuse the condensation.



Personally, I cannot wait to see the results of the respray. Do you have any other pics of the car in 'prep? If so, I'd love to see them.

It'll be like getting a new car once the painting is done - bet you can't wait!!
