Looking good Dave bet you are both pleased with it. Don't forget no polishing 'till the paint has fully dried.

Yes Dave, she'll be SORN'd at the end of the month, she might as well stay on the road this month in case we get a few dry clear days;). Although that looks very unlikely at the moment.:(

Lovely to see a car freshly sprayed, they look so good, it's a shame to take them out on the road and risk the finnish.

It was certainly a shame to bring her home in the rain Mike...:(

Well, @Grumpy has shamed me into cleaning her today. Thought as the sun was shining, (ohhhhh yes it was) I'd get the mud I collected on the way home from the body shop off her. She looks stunning, she really sparkles in the sun. I'm really, really pleased.
Here are some final photos on this thread:

Looks very lovely.
A very rare sight - kidney grilles NOT surrounded by stone chips!

Now can you please go back and dry all those wheel spokes and add some wheel wax finished by some tyre dressing.
Shiny paint doesn't mean you can cut corners on the detailing now!

Looks like a great job done Dave. Best way to find imperfections is when you polish them and if you dont find any then its a credit to the Sprayers. Nice to see they really stripped her back to do a thorough job.
Dave Pm me a rough cost and who did it. Thinking of getting the 4 done if we keep it

...add some wheel wax..
Cheers Dino but that's why I took the photo when I did to show the beading on the wheels:D, point taken about the tyre dressing though;). However with all the mud and s**t around here it wont stay like that for long=))
