V70R Full Respray Complete

[MA'R'K]

Got the R back from it's 3 week garage vacation

Had a boat load of things to do, but happy now the full respray is finished. Roof has been sprayed, also had a new windscreen and top seal too along with new cant rail trims. Tailgate also had to be resprayed after some reaction from the previous spray work was starting to lift. I decided this time to delete the tailgate window bottom seal for a cleaner look......

Well chuffed with it now though, black cars are a git to get perfect and over the last couple of years has given me a few extra greys

Some quick photos outside Volvo in Birmingham....will have to get some proper ones taken soon (hopefully when I have the 18in tritons refurbed!!)

Quite partial to a black r. Looking well that fella but I reckon you'll certainly turn grey keeping it like that. After 2 black cars I vowed never to have another.
