So the car ended up getting painted afew weeks later. We ended up doing Clear over base (COB) that is more time consuming and difficult to do but gets a better, deeper finish. The car ended up getting 6 coats of base coat and then 3 coats of clear. The paint is extremely white in the sun. Nobody could look at the car the glare was so bad. The finish came out really well and the extra effort put into prep shows. James Snell will also be painting the SXD180 (My car).

The top stage boot lid had arrived the week before as well. It came in very light at under 3kg if you look closely you can see the top stage logo in the mould which was a bit disappointing given the great expense of the item.

More soon!
