popped in to see progress today.

working their way through the easier panels and leaving the slower (concave) ones till last.

good news is no horror stories below paint and only original and 1 flash over to sand through to get back to gel coat.

going to colour today so got a few snaps.

decided to leave the roof choice to the guys spraying, i always thought the glitter was too much but din't want to loose the look so they came up with a coarse metallic silver which i really like the look of :D

learnt something new today, he said he starts with spraying in all door, bonnet and boot reveals, then sits each door, bonnet and boot panel in place. apparently if you don't they never fully match the body as flakes lie in different directions and spray pattern might be different :shock:
