We've had a fantastic day, worked really well as a team and I'm absolutely ecstatic witth what we've produced in a gazebo with 2 compressors, neither of which were big enough for the job.

 

I think I'll let the photos do the talking.

A HUGE thank you to Ben for all his hard work over the last couple of weeks, and to his other half for letting me borrow him.

 

The car is going to be left a while so the paint can fully harden before we flat it back and polish it

I wanted to flat and polish it straight away but we mutually agreed that would be a bad idea.

 

Unfortunately, we just couldn't get the air pressure we needed to get the lacquer to flow well so it will need a good flat and polish and all will be well

It does in the shade, but looks great in the sun.
