Had a drive out to Halifax yesterday to see how Andy was progressing. Nearing the end of the preparation stage so should be receiving the primer coat soon. The magnolia, hand brushed finish to the bonnet has now gone, thank goodness.
It's looking good. :up :up

Looks a brilliant job, Andy. You've even rubbed it down where the front and rear bumpers sit!
Is that the primer coat? Can't wait to see the finished job. It won't be too long now.

Wow, that shine. I'll have to wear shades when I wash the car. :up :up
In fact it's looking so good Andy that you'll have to educate me on the best way to keep the car clean without affecting the finish.

Looks as if you were working late Andy, judging by the colour of the light coming through the windows.
The photos speak for themselves, brilliant. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
