Ok ladies. Picked up car late last night as painter had a powercut just before he started spraying (luckily) which set him back a few hours. All that remains to do is a wax as he never had time to do it. I am really pleased with the front grille. I asked him to spray it the same colour and i think the results speak for themselves. Opinions greatly appreciated.

These pics were taken this morning after i blackfire iced the bonnet. Still needs waxing which i will do in the next fews days (if the rain ever stops). Reflections are amazing and will surely be better after waxing?

Bonnet, entire front bumper and blended lightly into the wings.

Found out something interesting. The bonnet skin is Aluminium! I didn't know that! Thought it was pressed steel.

I also replaced both bumper corner mouldings. I asked him to leave the old ones off so i could fit the new ones when i picked her up.

Looking good. That black fire is good stuff and multiple coats can be applied but you csn only put bf wax on top of it

I must admit I want my one to be as good as this :-(

Not sure what you mean Kingsford? What did i use to do what?? ....and of course there aren't any swirls, i just picked her up from the body shop after a FULL bonnet and front bumper respray! If there were swirls in the finish then i would be taking her back.

Pay attention dear Sir!! Look back further in the thread and you'll see. The rear end was replaced last May so all i need is a piano to fall out a window on the roof then i will be sorted! Other than that she's in very good nick. Got some minor carpark dings to remove from n/s (not my fault - previous owner) and then get her detailed. Wheels are getting done next along with minor dents.
